Cool tool!

I gave it a shot on one of our private repos this morning and it did what it said on the box.

In the process it also generated ~150 comments on the repo.

For folks watching the repo, this is a fair amount of email.

Is there anyway to aggregate the comments? Perhaps into the Pull Request description?

Thanks for trying it out.. sorry about the spam. When I added the parallelization of the tasks, I kind of lost the ability to manage things centrally on Github. I'll think about if there's some way to make this better.

Increasing the number of images per task would reduce the number of commits / comments, but could also increase the amount of time it takes to complete.

Did the commits themselves cause email issues for you, or was it just the comments? I could look into appending to the PR description instead of adding comments - I'm just worried about a race condition when multiple tasks are trying to update the description at the same time.

No worries! It worked, we just got a lot of emails :)

Could you aggregate the messages and post an update when the entire task is complete?

Seeing the commits come seems to be a good progress indicator.

If you are "watching" a repo, you get an notification for every comment, not every commit.

You could also just create the PR with a link to the job on ShrinkRay and have the progress updates there...

I've added this to my issue list.. thanks for the suggestion!
