Description

Right now we get what looks like quite hard compressed images which get small in size but they don’t look all that good. It would be great to have a slider where you can set the compression strength and possible choose to don’t compress the images.

Research direction
Examine how screenshots are saved and compressed in the current codebase, then add a slider to set compression quality.
