Suggestion: Auto-Search for best save-format

Post by Mr-Fly »

Hi.

What would be a great feature:
An Menu entry for save, which will then search the best save-format out of a predefined list.
The best could mean eg. for size.
I often try different formats to get the smallest files, which is sometimes jpg, sometimes png, but if it is a scanned page it can also end up as gif.
So it would be nice, if I could define the possible formats (jpg,png,gif,pcx) and xnview will check which of them suits best.

Regards
Thorsten

In next version you'll have an export feature, and you'll see how is saved the picture...
