XnView Software

I don't think that you should give up too easily when there may be a quite simple solution to your need! :wink:

Would you be able to provide a small number of representative TIFF files that I could run through my [very] draft batch conversion script, if necessary using a private download link sent ...

I'm not optimistic that can be done using XnConvert although by all means try, I think the XnConvert interface would likely require either a minor change to default file naming or an additional option added.

In which software are the screenshots saved?

I think you will have to post the file and hopefully someone will have a look, but please place it in a ZIP as there has been a lot of spam related to games posted recently.

@eddified: Something to remember is that Flatpak versions are not produced by Pierre, so there is at least some delay before new versions appear there, whereas Deb versions are available to download immediately, and earlier versions are available here in the case of a glitch.

I'm not sure, possibly one of the other settings options has been changed?
