Minimal difference: a tiny dark grey stripe on the left in XN 1.98.5, as opposed to FF.

Confirmed. Not fixed in 1.98.5. Width shrinks by factor 8

XNview already supports standard vector graphic formats, WMF and EMF.

NOT really.

1. WMF and EMF is not a standard, hacky libwmf/wmftogif from 1999: http://www.skynet.ie/~caolan/Packages/libwmf.html

2. XNview doesn't support them natively, it just lets Windows API do the work (so it "works" on ...

Ken Silverman's PNGOut or Cosmin Truta's OptiPNG are better in my humble opinion. I didn't try the command-line version, but the GUI one is really awful.

Minimal test: PngOptimizer beats OPTIPNG but inferior to PNGOUT (16 col's).

PngOptimizer (CL) flaws:

- no progress indicator
- very little ...

Link is dead but rotate works for me, I do get results and they are different. Look better or count colours

not sure, what you actually mean for interpolation ("smoothing") during the rotation... Could you be more verbose?

Try to rotate (by 30 deg maybe) with and without "Smooth" ... check the results.

In any case, the image can be automatically converted back to binary after the rotation, right ...

Heh, someone answered

Would it be possible to view images within PDFs the same way images in ZIP/RAR files are now? Same for other document formats with embedded images like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MHTML, Corel WordPerfect and many others.

Problems:

1. PDF support isn't native in XN
2. PDF format is very complicated ...

I have noticed that when I apply the rotation ( Image → Rotate → Custom ) to the 1bit (binary) image, it is converted to 8bit.

Right, 8 bit greyscale.

That is unexpected. Is rotation not possible for binary data? It should be even more simpler

Rotation of binary pixels is possible, but not ...

NO. Just the transparent index points to the color edited last time. How to fix? Remember the transparent index before editing the palette and set it back where it used to be.
