The default pre-set quality is too low. (even jpg high quality)
The thumbnails just have many noise dot and artifacts.
What about add a setting that can manual set the compress level? Like q85 q90 ...etc
It's more flexable and better than before.
Manual set the compress level of thumbnails

Re: Manual set the compress level of thumbnails
Ok, IMHO it can be implemented. However I strongly think that your problem comes from the fact that the thumbnails stored in your catalog/DB are way too small compared with the thumbnails which you see on the screen.
Do like this:
1. Open a folder of your choice with "many noise dot and artifacts".
2. Go to Tools | Settings | Catalog and press {Get thumbnail size} (optionally select WebP - it should be better)
3. Press Ok to close the dialog
4. In your folder press Ctrl+A to select all images.
5. Go to View | Rebuild Thumbnails
It is better now?

Nope. I'm using 0.5x scale to view thumbnails now.
It's good but size of thumbnails on disk is too large.
1:1 view is horrible. Jpeg is better than webp. The webp is just smoother but have worse color.
And what I said "many noise dot and artifacts" is just for 1:1 view.
