Webcam - Timelapse - Archiving or auto-delete

Hi Jachym,

I have a suggestion for the plug-in webcam, is it possible to "Archive" the image (Exemple: all image after 6 month will be zipped and extracted only when requested) or can we auto-delete all the image old then a specific time (example: keep the image only for the last 6 month or 1 year).

I know we can delete manually the image but can a automatic process can be apply for the auto-delete. I know for the zipped option, it's not possible manually.

It's just a suggestion, because i cange the parameter of my plug-in to keep a image each minute and I calculate 500meg per month. And i also force the timelapse in the block to be 100msec not 1000sec... It's really running fast.

Let me know if it's possible.

Thank you.

Hi Sylvain,
Im afraid not, there is no way PHP could ZIP such large files. I ran into problems already with some plugins and we are talking 10-20MBs....
