Papa’s Optimizer

[Krishty]

I’ve been using RSS Bandit and it was pretty good. I have since moved to Thunderbird (File → Subscribe…) because I use it for my email and it is nice to have mail & RSS in one place.

There are also various feed reader extensions for Firefox, but I haven’t tried any of them …

Please add https://papas-best.com/downloads/optimizer/changes.rss and let me know if that’s fine. You should see a few update notifications in your reader.

I released a new version last evening (RSS readers should notice): https://papas-best.com/optimizer_en#download

• I accidentially deleted the EXIF rotation tag if a JPG file cannot be derotated in lossless mode. If you have a Huawei phone, alas a bunch of JPGs in the ungodly resolution 5312×2988 (not evenly divisible into JPG blocks), they may lose all rotation. This is fixed now.

There is another problem lurking below: mozjpegtran fails to rotate some images where normal jpegtran succeeds. I suspect this happens if a JPG file grows after derotation. It seems to be fixed in the current build (4.0.1-rc2), but I’d like to test it internally for a week before I ship it. On my PC, only three files out of a few thousands were affected, so it is not a high priority problem anyway.
