1.9.1: “Convert to series” alters the characteristics of photos without any ‘action’ selection selected

[massimo.peca]

XnView: MP 1.9.1 - 64 bit
OS: Linux / 64bit (Debian 12 with LXDE)

After selecting the RAW files to be converted, for example to JPEG, and applying the “Convert to series” command, the preview of the photo is noticeably different from the original one, as it is overexposed, and brightness, color temperature, contrast, saturation, etc... are changed.
All this happens without having chosen and used any corrective action.

Effect: The files thus converted, are altered from the originals, so the usefulness of serial conversion is lost, since it is necessary to use the “export” function, which, however, converts only one at a time. And, if I have 1345 to convert?

To reproduce:
1. Select several RAW files;
2. Apply the “Convert to series” command;
3. Choose the “actions” tab and make sure none is used;
3. Watch the preview of the converted file (or convert!) and compare it with the original, using the “show original” button.

Current behavior (bug): alteration of exposure parameters, brightness, color temperature, contrast, saturation, etc...: bug:

Expected behavior: no difference of the described parameters between the RAW file and the one converted to a different format, without having used any corrective “action”

check 'Camera RAW' settings in Settings>Formats>Read
by default, its:

• for Viewing
  - Embedded preview (JPEG)

• for Converting
  - Full size
  - some adjustments from 'Full/Half size rendering group'

However, there is an issue
Preview in Batch convert continue to use Full(or Half size) when 'Embedded preview' is selected for Convert in Settings

Preview in Batch convert continue to use Full(or Half size) when 'Embedded preview' is selected for Convert in Settings

Batch convert needs to use the 'full size' if used for convert

Batch convert needs to use the 'full size' if used for convert

but you have RAWFlag that should alter this behavior (like in FastStone)
and also:

You have a RAW flag when loading RAW in preview or tab, and when using convert or 'Batch convert'

In fact, my problem has not been solved, despite your advice.
Anyway, thank you.
I will go back to using RawTherapee which does not have this defect. It is just slower.
