I found the downloaded images on my system to be 12.5 MB / 5000 by 3000 High Rez Images. These images eat up a LOT of Disk Space so it would be nice to have the Option to have the APP delete images older than 24 hours to prevent them piling up. I've decided to make an Animated GIF of 16 hours of weather from the pictures I get today.

Perhaps add Windows UN-Install Instructions to the Window Install Page? An a Linux build?

And how do I mark an Issue as 3 "Feature Requests"?

SpaceEye is configured to automatically delete any images that are older than 2 hours. This might be a bug because you're running an older version of OS X. Could you post some of the logs from /Users/<username>/Library/Logs/space-eye/main.log (redacting any absolute paths, if you like)?

I'll add some Windows uninstall instructions.

A Linux build likely won't be coming for a while (see #21), mainly due to the need for custom implementations of Electron APIs that only work on Mac and Windows.

As far as labeling issues, I think GitHub only lets maintainers assign labels. Just mention it in the title (like you did) and I'll put the feature request label on it. I'll also label this as a potential bug, since old images should be auto-deleted.

Not a bug: the last two hours of photos are all that are saved on my system also.

The feature I need is to allow me to set a longer time span ... so I get a dozen pictures (or more!) of my location.
WHY? So that I can make animated GIF out of the sequence ... Like THIS One:

Thank you for the Uninstall instructions ... I noted the Mac un-installation instructions in this topic: https://www.techsupportalert.com/freeware-forum/software-suggestions/17769-spaceeye-has-live-satellite-imagery-for-your-mac-or-windows-desktop-background.html#post127039
But I think the user "Jim" needed them Yesterday ... for Windows.

"Simply move the Executable (SpaceEye.app on a Mac System) to the trash: and Empty the Trash. On a Mac the unneeded user data can be deleted by putting the Home/Library/Application Support/space-eye folder in the trash also."
"I don't know where Windows hides User Files ... On a Mac they are all in Library/Application Support/nameofyourapp or in Home/Library/Application Support/nameofyourapp ... "
