Hello, thank you for the great software. I would like to suggest adding the ability to save cover art as baseline JPEG, as progressive ones are not displayed on various MP3 players (for example, older Sony NWZ models). Of course, I would also appreciate the option to perform this conversion from p…

The function "Adjust Cover" produces baseline covers also in jpg format.

see here on a different approach to deal with progressive jpgs: [image] Adjust Covers To Force Baseline? Support Does Adjust Covers change JEPG progressive to baseline? If not: How about if I go from JPG to PNG an then from PNG to JPG?

Thank you very much. I have read that topic before posting. I think it is a last resort but far from being a practical solution for most users. I hope the feature I requested comes to light soon.

[image] LyricsLover: What exactly do you mean with "detection problem"? I could have been clearer. As far as I know, detecting progressive JPEGs requires downloading and then checking each file, one by one. That disrupted my work flow and so was both a problem and a nuisance. My system av…

[image] ohrenkino: Where does your process address "the detection problem"? It does not address it directly. My process works around the problem because my screen shots always create baseline JPEGs.

Perhaps you can avoid the necessity to use external programs ... if you use a web source script that also downloads the cover picture. And then you run an action of the type "Adjust cover" to resize the picture to your favourite dimensions and while resizing the picture, it will also be transforme…

Thank you for the suggestion but the bulk of my downloads come from youTube and Soundcloud. I am not aware of web source scripts for either of those. But for people who do use sites that support such scripts, your suggestion is certainly a reasonable one. An advantage of my system is that it wor…
