[Windows] some feedback / problems
Hi, first: Thanks for your project!
I wanted to give some feedback regarding some small problems with the WIndows Version 0.4 I faced:
- in the settings for jpegxl the input field for Quality is limited to 2 digits, so it is only possible to set 99 but not 100
- my firewall intercepted the network traffic to localhost and that caused the program to freeze when trying to start encoding (maybe add some check)
- Presets loading crashes the program
Nice to see that something like this is being worked on!
I started my own GUI (C#/WPF) last year private just for myself to experiment and to convert a lot of jpegs and it is so similar to this one. (temp image: https://postimg.cc/HVHk8JZZ)
Queue, Agent Process communicates using AnonPipes and receives the queue/settings, Drag/Drop to handle files/folders, csv-files, checksum verification to check if lossless encoded file really is the same when decoded, and I planned to add presets as well for different kind of images like Photo, Document scans, Pixel Art, ... but only for jpeg xl and I just started to write down all possible cmd parameters.
I can stop now when MegaPixel is working. 👍

Thats really weird, the program itself doesn't have any online connectivity. I am not sure what would cause it to even try to use Networking. It could be some Python module. I will try to investigate.
Presets loading crashes the program
I (hopefully) found the issue. The UI crashes when trying to set an index to a checkbox (which doesn't work obviously) https://github.com/Alkl58/MegaPixel-Qt/blob/3f38effe6b433f4cba6f288361d61a14a66866f2/MegaPixel-Qt/main.py#L182 I will fix it asap.
I tried to find something with Google but did not find something. I only can tell you it opens some random port not a fixed one.

I uploaded my csharp library wrapper for jpeg-xl if you ever switch back to WPF and want improve it or to make a nice UI for it. The WPF GUI there it is only an example, not the one I use here.
