More screenshot options

[Cervator]

Thanks to @begla we have crazy detailed screenshots now :-)

Having 15MB screenshot files might call for some options though :D

I figure a little "Screenshot Settings" button under Graphic Settings would be appropriate. Something like this:

• Super (2 x window size)
• Normal (window size)
• Small (half window size)
• Thumbnail (quarter window size)

Multiple options can be enabled so users don't have to manually resize

Could default all sizes enabled unless that lags too much. Or just super

Bonus: Implement auto-upload to image hosting sites / social sites (should drop the upload process into a background thread / queue). Settings screen would be where you put the information of what site to use and any authentication needed (ideally none or a fancy OAuth type setup to not expose passwords).

If auto-upload is enabled make a set of radio buttons appear next to the size settings so the user can select which one to upload.

Double bonus: Add a camera click noise when taking screenshot

Edit way later: Confirmed that the out of memory issues I hit locally while attempting to take screenshots were due to the new crazy size. Switching to a 64-bit JDK fixed it and allows me to take screenies again, but we probably should default to lower quality so users using 32-bit won't crash + put a warning by the super sized option. Also about how long it can take to then generate said super screenies ;-)

@NowNewStart - if you've still got that working camera click noise and beginning options and can base them off the restructure branch (with nothing else in the same PR) ... gogogo! ;-)

Downloading it right now, will start working on it when I fetched all files for it ;)

I found something stupid as I played a normal Terasology build and wanted to take a screenshot, and also had the out of memory problem we talked about @Cervator. I think there are common problems with it.

Well, yeah, the default screenshot size is mega-big. That's why we need the options to choose the size and default to a more manageable size :-)

The memory allocatef by the standard exe is too low in the first instance.

Bought a new PC.
Will push this code right after my vacation.

Closing as complete! Referenced the remaining minor WIBNIFs in the backlog for any future interest
