Display of JPEG 'Estimated quality' in Image > Properties...

Post by cday »

Some years ago, an issue was identified with the display in Image > Properties... of JPEG Estimated quality, as described in this thread. The thread became long and confused, as estimated quality was displayed in Pierre's XnView MP but not in mine. Checking now, that field is again not displayed, although I believe that it has sometimes been displayed in the past.

This following post today would seem to have identified the root cause of the issue, as being that JPEG Estimated quality is only displayed when the Settings... option Formats > Write -- JPEG tab 'Use estimated quality (when possible)' is enabled. Enabling that option now has added the parameter to my Properties display when a new JPEG file is opened.

The root cause of the issue and previous confusion confirmed, and something that can now be easily fixed? :D
