PNG images reprocessed needlessly
Posted: 16 Nov 23, 17:35

If a project contains PNG images, and jAlbum is set to Force JPEG images, the slide images are reprocessed every time the album is made - new output images are created and uploaded.

I can't reproduce

. Please pass a minimal zipped project that reproduces this.

Here ya' go. I get a new slide image on each album build. Of course, the PNG involved is so inspiring, that's not necessarily a bad thing!

I didn't find this one - M-i-c-h-a did. All of his "bee" pictures are PNG's, so he gets a huge new upload on every build.

Intriguing discovery.... The problem doesn't seem to occur if I choose both Force JPEG thumbnails and Force JPEG images. It happens only if only the slide images are being forced, or only the thumbnails. It's the mismatch between them that's triggering the bug.

Does it happen repeatedly too?

Oh, yes, over and over again.

ETA: Here are the results from hitting Make Album once per minute, without doing anything else.

I think I could make the argument for having a single setting: Force JPEG thumbnails and images. It's tough to construct a reasonable use-case for setting them separately. Maybe I'm missing something....
