Hi, I've been trying to use XnViewMP to mass convert HEIC files to PNG while keeping the metadata; however there's a a slight color difference between the original and final image. I have the "preserve color profile" box checked but there's still a difference. Using version 1.9.5, any help would be ...

potentially dangerous behavior of 'Estimated quality'
for example:
i have a PNG file and i want to save it as JPEG
i select 'Save as' and in 'Options' I check 'Use JPEG-li' and set 'Quality' to 90
now I have a 185KB file, and 'Info' pane shows that 'Estimated quality' is only 57 (which is baffling)

Hello - I have XnViewMP on my PC and I cannot seem to open/view heic or png files through the viewer. I have checked XNViewMP settings - these don't even seem to be an option in tools-settings-formats (in other words, HEIC and PNG are not on the list of file types).

... this may be irrelevant to non-Mac users, but if you are interested, I created this Liquid Glass icon for macOS 26+. I am providing both .icns and .png files. Feel free to use them in any way you see fit. My dream would be for a design similar to this - not necessarily my exact version - to become ...

Thanks, I've just tried it.
With this version there is no difference in speed now when switching between PNG and TIFF files.
So images of different formats are now switching with the same speed I would say.

But there is still difference in speed when switching in browser mode compared to dedicated ...

... and display it as though it was the preview of the model file.

The separate thumbnail file would be stored as a common file format (jpg or png) and I do not wish to implement decoding for jpg or png in my plugin. Ideally my plugin would just delegate to an existing filetype's loader after ...
