Very strange that you don't know about this aspect of Rejpeg v1. Believe me, it does exist. My friends and I all utilize this. It is a KEY feature!!!
I still have not used V2 yet (just downloaded it) but it looks like this feature was DROPPED ! Is is possible that nobody at Morpheous ever noticed it?
To demonstrate, try this:
Open v 1.0 of REJPEG
Open a file (must be 800x600 or smaller to see numbers in corner)
Look at the upper right of window for the numbers displayed:
In my example, the
"File size" is 140194 bytes - this is the original file size
"Quality" is 50 (99.1% same) This shows the automatic optimization. The original file is stored at 90% compression but rejpeg sets the compression to yield 99% similarity to original
"NewSize" is 44075 bytes This shows the size of the file with the level the autocompression chose. If you never touch the slider and just save it now, it will be automatically reduced from 140k to 44k. No fooling around.
I still can't believe you guys all missed this! I will check it out, but after reading the tutorial, faqs and help, it appears that this feature has been dropped from V2.
Please consider reinstating it. I believe that the graphing of the quality vs. size was the key to this feature. Probably also used the info in some sort of differential equation to find the optiimum setting based on a certain percentage.
And a "batch" function would only work with this feature in mind. No wonder it didn't make sense to you. But just imagine if you could open a folder from RJPEG and build a list of files to be recompressed and sized automatically. Just pick the size and it would automatically set to 800x600 (like Irfanview can do) as well as use the optimization algorithm to optimize compression.
