yes, guetzli has a limitation, you need to use quality >= 84

First off, this should be mentioned in a stop dialogue / warning /ban etc.

Even so it has problems. If I try to convert CR2 (Raw option = 'embedded preview') files to Guetzli JPG it runs forever. Clicking on [x] button from Batch Convert it closes the dialog before it finishes (!), but the Guetzli.exe is still running in the background consuming an entire core and a lot of memory.

Also, with simple JPEG it seems to fail if in Write Settings the 'Rebuild embedded EXIF thumbnail' option is checked.

I have to agree here that some warning should be mentioned when selecting Guetzli with an unsupported quality setting. Had to Google to get to this thread, wondering why no output files were produced while the log clearly said everything went fine.

It still doesn't work.
My conversion settings:
Quality is 94%.

What happens:
Infinity conversion that never ends and never progresses.

When pressing Stop, XnView MP just stops responding and crashes.

It is important to remember that the Guetzli format was introduced specifically to reduce the size of the normally small images used on web pages, in order to reduce the time required to download the complete page.

The time required to create a compressed version of larger files can be *very* long, and the format should not be used for those images. Whether there is actually a confirmed bug in the implementation, or conversion of large images is simply extremely slow, I'm not sure.
