XnView Software

"Save as"
"export"
both are forwarding to previous save location, instead of current folder.
I'd like files to default to source folder when saving with either option.

Add an option to image collage maker that would allow picking which image's EXIF to use or use the first one's on the list, instead of wiping it.

The program isn't transparent with the information about either with smooth option selected or without. So which methods are used?

@ xnview ,
0: add folder (with subfolders) to batch convert. (ideally with a filter list to only select certain filetypes within)
1: encode source file with desired settings
2: compare file sizes of encoded and source
3.1: encoded filesize < source filesize:
place source to bin if it's larger and ...

What rotation method is it using in viewer and is there a selection setting for it?
It seems that using paint.net with its bicubic setting is better for image rotation.

I don't see this option. The batch convert settings of format (save iptc exif xmp) aren't clearing it either.
The only way is to export with "remove all metadata" ticked, which is ok for a couple of files, but gets annoying quickly for 3+.

how to make gifv files loop animation? the loop video option doesn't affect it.

More specifically how to disable not fully downloaded video files from being read (or all video files would work too)?
XnviewMP simply crashes whenever I open it in a folder with an incomplete video download, requiring me to move images out of the folder first.

@xnview yes, for some reason for strips the destination save folder offers neither the source files folder, nor the default saving folder, but some other - much older - previously used place.

It is always some older folder for export, neither current folder of the used images nor a predefined one.

add an exclusion/blacklist option, for example to search for all images but selected couple of formats

Add a checkmark/button to highlight differences between images
Add a flip to inversely single out differences instead (color the rest of the image with the same color for example)
Add a detection (sensitivity) slider
kinda like imagemagick https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compare/

useful for ...

cday , the whole request is about new file size vs old file size, not a specified value, also ideally not command line/script :?
(skip converting any images where the encoded version would be larger than the original)

the only application I've found so far that is able to do this (almost) exactly ...

xnview, I haven't found anything described in this thread in NConvert either

on top of that idea would be nice to have an option to chose the lowest size from the selected preset formats & their settings, so for example:
batch convert images inside selected folders into one of webp, jpg, gif using set settings, chosing whichever is the smallest per file, delete originals to ...
