Changing JPEG quality in place not working (Convert Image...)

Help & Support
1

To reproduce the bug:

  • right click a jpg image.
  • select convert image
  • make sure the only thing selected is "Convert - JPEG" and Quality is set to something (I used 70%)
  • the image is not overwritten or converted, quality and filesize is unchanged.

If I also select "Write converted images to destination folder" then it works.

Opus tries to keep JPEG changes lossless if it can, and if nothing about the image is forcing it to be recompressed then it won't be recompressed by default.

Add the NOLOSSLESS argument to override that:

I ran into this as well.
Maybe disable the jpg quality control if in in lossless mode and "write to destination" is not enabled?

I added a @keypressed: shift or something modifier to run the image conversion tool in NOLOSSLESS mode, maybe that is an option for you too rsn.

The quality control still applies if you do something like resize the image, lossless mode or not.
