XnView Software

Ah, I tested some more and found this to be a feature

In Options > General > Read/Write > Write > JPEG there's an option for

[ ] Keep IPTC-Data

which wasn't checked. Once checked everything worked fine again. Sorry for the alert.

So you can add new IPTC-data without ever touching the "Write"-Button, just with the "Apply"-button?
I tested on another system with the same result (doesn't work).

Using XnView v1.91.4, when I add some IPTC-data to an image and click the "Write" button, the IPTC-data is immediately stored in the image. But when I click "Apply" in this IPTC-dialog the data is remembered (as I can see in the IPTC-information box afterwards) and the image gets marked as changed. ...

Sorry for not at first describing what I finally did to resolve the problem. Here's how to extract a jpeg (repeat for each stored jpeg inside the exe): 1) Check a regular jpeg with a Hex-Editor for some characters at the start and at the end that are the same in each file assuming they describe how ...

Hi,

I made a slide show and created an exe file from that with XnView.
Due to some ID 10-T -problem I deleted those images but still have the exe.

Apart from clicking through the exe, making screenshots, and cropping them afterwards: is there a way to get the original images out of the exe file?

Ok, will do. Thanks, Helmut

Couldn't find anything in the helpfile: I know that EXIF symbol, but what does the other symbol mean?

What other shell extension? Maybe I wrote somhow unclear; what I meant was that this could be a way the XnView shell extension could handle different quality settings. The way to do this came solely from my confused brain http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c070.gif not from another shell extens...

Like 4 fixed settings to choose from? Yes I'd like that, but then again: which four to choose? There might be people who'd like 98/90/80/70 while others would prefer 90/75/60/40 or such. How about a simple config-textfile where we can put our own values? Like this: jpegquality1=98 jpegquality2=90 jp...

You mean configuring in Options > Write > JPEG > Quality?
For testing I set that to 6 which produces a lousy image. The setting is rememberd between XnView sessions but the shellextension's conversion still produces a way better image (about 80).

Is there a way to adjust the jpeg image quality when using the shellextension's image conversion?

No, they are in 32bits, like this:

I noticed when converting a transparent PNG the transparency won't stick when converting to GIF. Is it possible to change that?

What's next? "Make the toolbar deep-black or I'll kill that kitten"?

In the picture viewer I'd like to have a button that opens the shown file with my desired external application (the one that gets launchend when choosing File - Open with - <program>)
