Display a warning whenever saving an image changes the bits per channel, or the number of channels.

Basically, whenever you save an image with XNView, you never quite know for sure what your resulting bits/channel or the total number of channels is going to be until after you've reopened the image for inspection.
So, as a safeguard, any time the user saves as an image format that forces the bits per channel, or the total number of channels to change, XNView should display a popup warning the user before saving, that this is going to happen.
This happened to me when I tried saving as the FLIF format, and I noticed the total bits of the image changed after inspecting the resulting FLIF. A simple warning would have given me a heads up.
P.S. I believe that may be a bug as well (FLIF saving as 8bits per channel instead of 16bits per channel as intended).
Thanks!
