draw.io windows app override default configuration to allow larger images

dwraw.io. configuration example.md

problem

When trying to insert an image you might get the warning "Image too big" when selecting "Actual size" in the insert dialog

Soulution

is to change the default settings.

note: this is tested on Windows, probably similar in Mac - check out the linke here if you are using Mac https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/e5e7d1517939b98418a58cdd8595dd8c

open Draw.io app ()

• in menu "Extras" , select "Configuration". in configuration you have to insert a json configuration and for the image size it lokks like this, setting max Byte and pixel size

{
  "maxImageSize": "3000",
  "maxImageBytes": "3000000"
}

Default settings, 1MB and 520px on the longest edge (x or y)

{
  "maxImageSize": "520",
  "maxImageBytes": "1000000"
}

Other settings can be found here (not the best pverview but might point you in the right direction) https://desk.draw.io/support/solutions/articles/16000058316-configure-the-diagrams-net-and-draw-io-editor
