Minor updates to botshotter.py about botwiki.org

Yes, that stuff should be fine.

How do you normally run pngcrush? Can you give an example command?

[stefanbohacek]

I believe this will answer your question: #6 :-)

The reason for closing this was actually a bit misguided. I thought it would require keeping source images and saving optimized images separately, which is how I normally keep things (just in case, I suppose). It would make sense to just overwrite the screenshots in our case, so I think I'll look into reopening that issue.

Either way, I usually just use common/default values.

[hugovk]

Whilst looking at tags, should we change the case at all?

Does it matter if their order is changed when deduping? Do we want a specific order?

[stefanbohacek]

How about doing something like this (pseudocode):

switch (bot.type):
  case 'twitterbot':
    tags = ['twitter', 'twitterbot']
  break
// etc for other networks, then later
tags += user_submitted_tags 
          + (bot.is_opensource ? ['open source', 'opensource'] : ) 
          + author_twittername
// finally
tags.dedupe

I don't think the tag order particularly matters, but I would rather keep the order, which has been something like what the code above would produce.

This actually reminds me, we need to ask about the language for open source bots!

Oh and I'd definitely use lowercase. Thank you!

from botwiki.org.

I added a question "If the bot is open source, what language was used to write it? (Or just leave blank.)".

[hugovk]

Did the new question shift the Added column one to the right? If so, I need to update for that too :)

All but the pngcrush/Trimage addressed in #41.

It doesn't looks like Trimage has any Windows binaries, but pngcrush is more platform-independent.

Default options don't trim much:

• The original GenerateACat.png from botshotter.py is 440 KB.
• The one you optimised (with trimage?) and updated in the repo is 386 KB.
• The pngcrushed one is 435 KB.

@hugovk Hmm, it looks like adding a new question adds a new column at the end, but before any manually added columns.

I just added a test submission, feel free to check it out and delete when done.

We'll have to remember that in future.

Test submission seemed to be processed okay. Deleted.

The Trimage shows it using OptiPNG, I'll look into that. https://github.com/Kilian/Trimage/blob/master/src/trimage/trimage.py#L435

@hugovk Awesome, thank you!
