@Pierre

please add this info also to the "-help" section. At the moment there is only:

Code: Select all

-q value          : JPEG/FPX/WIC/PDF/JPEG2K quality (default : 85)

Using -use_org_quality in place of a -q term doesn't work?

Such as:

Code: Select all

-out jpeg -use_org_quality

My code is longer, and it seems to have problems with params following the -use_org_quality.
But finally it creates a file - but not the one I defined ..

Defined quality:

Code: Select all

D:\xxx\foto>nconvert.exe -keepfiledate -q 100 -out jpeg -jpegtrans exif -exif_orient 1  -o "D:\xxx\foto\q100.jpg"   "D:\xxx\foto\source.JPG"

** This is freeware software (for non-commercial use)

Lossless transformation of D:\xxx\foto\source.JPG : OK
Original quality:

Code: Select all

D:\xxx\foto>nconvert.exe -keepfiledate -use_org_quality -out jpeg -jpegtrans exif -exif_orient 1  -o "D:\xxx\foto\orig.jpg"   "D:\xxx\foto\source.JPG"

there is a problem with 'use_org_quality' argument, and there is no need to use it with -jpegtrans (quality is not changed)

You mean there is a problem which you will fix or which can be avoided by the user?
