2.x Uploaded image increases in size and ignores image: false

To Reproduce

Upload any image file through the Apostrophe UI.

Expected behavior

I would like to upload image files without any modifications, optimisations or compressions. I would like to eventually use it as follows: {{ apos.attachments.url(data.widget._backgroundImage.attachment, { size: 'original' }) }}

Describe the bug

However, when I upload a 300KB JPG file, I get the “original” file with 1.7MB in size.

Details

Version of Node.js: v14.17.0

Server Operating System: MacOS Catalina

Additional context:

apostrophe-attachments configuration

'apostrophe-attachments': {
    svgImages: true,
    fileGroups: [
        {
        name: 'images',
        label: 'Images',
        extensions: ['png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'svg'],
        extensionMaps: { jpeg: 'jpg' },
        image: false
},

👆 Notice that there is image: false, so it should not treat it as an image and hence not created scaled versions of the file.

I am not using ImageMagic – I am going to try and give an update if it helps.

Screenshots Original file:

File on the server (with the scaled image versions too):

copyOriginal and orientOriginals would need to be nested inside an “uploadfs” sub-option.

I would not recommend “copyOriginal: false” because it would have the surprising result of preventing Apostrophe from ever rescaling if you add more sizes or make crops with the UI later etc. It’s an uploadfs feature but not one that is recommended for Apostrophe.

TIL (Today I Learned): modern browsers apparently do support exif rotation hints by default. IE11 does not however, and is still unfortunately supported by some projects at least into 2022 when Microsoft will stop supporting it.

I’m not crazy though, this is very recent (2020, for Chrome):

@boutell https://github.com/boutell Really, images don’t work without the autorotation on the web? I have never heard about it. There was never a need for me to update any metadata to use on the web.
