XnView Software

Currently, when performing lossless transformations, backup files are created using the filename.xnbak.ext format. Would it be possible to instead store all original files in a dedicated folder? Ideally, this could be a user-configurable option, but a default folder name like [XnOriginals]\ would be intuitive. Additionally, marking the folder as hidden would help keep the workspace tidy.

Key benefits of this approach:

• Prevents clutter from multiple backup files.
• Ensures that multiple lossless transformations do not create redundant backups or modify the original file.
• Allows for a straightforward "Restore Original" button/shortcut that retrieves the original file and removes it from [XnOriginals].

Would this be feasible to implement?
