Viewer - save routine - reduce number of dialogs when saving image with comments and other metadata

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.6.4 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Viewer
when saving image with comment and other metadata to a format that does not support them, 2 dialogs are displayed one by one

test_img.png (3.61 KiB) Viewed 1401 times

save_jpeg_with_comment_into_bmp.png (9.63 KiB) Viewed 1401 times

Suggestion

• show only one dialog for such cases

which dialog will be better?

[cicciobello]

I think the second one is better (shorter writing).

[user0]

i would:
- use the 2nd dialog as more general (since all metadata is removed, no need to mention comment separately)
- replace "any existing" with "all" or "all embedded" if it fits dialog without breaking sentence (in English) to the second line

follow up Suggestion
guess separate post required
Keeping in mind there is another dialog - "Saving in this format will delete some metadata!"
(eg when saving image with XMP metadata into PNG), you my want to list the exact metadata which will be saved/removed from file.

Sorry I did not understand, Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.7.0. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
