The Windows GUI is made

I wrote a small GUI for Windows, find it here if you're interested. https://github.com/gerfra/GuetzliBG Good job everyone.

Hi Francesco, Thank you for this. I put it all together in a folder. Ran Guetzli, Your gui program shows that it completes. And then nothing. No change in the image that I tried to compress, and no sign of another smaller jpeg. I'm sorry but I just don't understand how to save the processed file. Can you offer a little more guidance?

[gerfra]

Thx, try now update your copy.

Thank you Francesco, Your GUI is working perfectly now. 1.46MB to 1MB in a little over 8 minutes. Very difficult to see any difference from the original. Using a PDI test target colors appear accurate. Well done. Appreciate your sharing the Guetzli goodness with a technically challenged photographer.

Thx, I think Guetzli is very slow currently, as you say, in the future I will write a procedure that will alert you by email when the conversion process is complete.

You all have done amazing work! There is no other team, that I have come across who have helped each other to truly succeed and dominate a task at hard. You all are truly great individuals. You are all mentally dangerous as I like to call it . Nevertheless continue to be the best versions of yourself and I hope you all don't see me as a complete dick or more. I knew you could do it and the group assistance was key! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and be blessed and have a nice cold one or a glass of wine or juice. Cheers

I am not sure if an email alert is needed. One nice thing is that this works on a folder full of images. In that way I can set it to running, and go do something else. For me that is sufficient. What would be helpful, but may be difficult to implement, would be some way to indicate progress. But if that should require a good deal of processing power then it might be counter-productive.

Nice work!

A few suggestions:

1. Remember quality slider setting
2. Don't rename compressed files but move original images to a folder (called Backup or something similar)
3. Ability to select multiple input folders
4. Make it work on subfolders

jabb01 thx, I'm also working on other projects. Anyway

1. I made one ini file to remember the setting OK
2. Other people like my approach, and I decide to open a section on my forum to make a poll. ??????
3. Mmmm the fastest way is write a queue files and then read and put it into array etc..... OK
4. I add this flag. OK Well Windows communities sustain me and then subscribe to my channel.

She's jealous of my time....

Thank you and great work gerfra. That yes, a small detail, when the time appears (which takes time to complete the conversion operation) does not stop blinking. Nor is it a serious mistake, much less. ;-)

But now what should improve is Guetzli himself, because it takes an eternity to convert, even powerful computers.

Greetings.

Hi Francesco, I have been experimenting with your windows GUI. One problem that I am having is that when I change the quality slider down below 84, the program runs for a few seconds and then says that process has failed. That if I wish to use a quality below 84 that I need to edit the source code. I have no idea how to edit the source code to allow say a quality of 51. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

@gerfra Considering that guetzli is under the apache license and you are free to redistribute it. Is there a reason you are not including it directly with your GUI?

[chasethelight]

Hi Francesco, I found the answer to my question I believe in reading the pull requests. It seems that even though there is a slider, that Guetzli itself does not support quality level below 84. Perhaps you anticipate that in the future Guetzli will support lower quality levels? I got confused because in an issue discussion a few days ago about running Guetzli multiple times on the same image, Robryk said: 'Even then, don't process it multiple times: just use Guetzli at a lower quality. Using an appropriate quality and prcessing the image once gives a much better quality/size tradeoff'

[gerfra]

@chasethelight , The gui starts at 84%, if in the future you will be able to see it from compiled release. Here https://github.com/google/guetzli/releases. At the moment NO, start 84% end 100%

[gerfra]

@Spunkie licenses often change .... and I prefer you download the latest version compiled by the official project.

@Nova6K0 Thx, blinking..... this happens because it is located in a loop, it will fix in the future.
