XYB JPEG: Perceptual Color Encoding Tested
> usually the filename and an image preview are the only pieces of information you get about an image no matter where you are
that's obviously false, it entirely depends on "where you are"
> ignorant of the literal entire world not doing this
The entire world is ignorant enough to not know that png is lossless
Also, don't hide behind the entire world, this conversation is about you "i don't look at dialogs before i download, save, or pick a file from a directory listing"
> fail to understand how windows explorer is not relevant when you can't just set the image viewer for save/open dialogs on windows, that's just not a thing that's possible to do
(by the way, it'd be entierly possible to add metadata even in Windows Explorer when this https://github.com/saschanaz/jxl-winthumb/issues/26 is added)
but you're not forced to just the save/open dialogs of the default file manager. You can even use a more convenient workflow of navigating in your file manager and making the open dialog switch there, and within your file manager you would have more info vs WinExplorer

Another great target for JXL support: PowerToys (opensource, >90k stars on GitHub) has a module for adding explorer.exe thumbnail/preview support to file formats
jxl-winthumb provides WIC capabilities. It could do with some increased google-ability though

What is JPEG XL?
Currently, JPEG XL can be enabled in Chromium, Firefox, and Opera browsers, but has no other browser support. JPEG XL is supposed to remain royalty free. You can grab the encoder and decoder off Github and chat with other JPEG XL enthusiasts on Reddit and Discord. You can install JPEG XL utilities on Mac using homebrew and on Windows. Tools like GIMP and ImageMagick are beginning to support it.

Windows JPEG XL Tutorial
What is JPEGXL The image coding system JPEG XL (ISO / IEC 18181) is particularly suitable for responsive conditions on the Internet, so that content from a variety of contraceptives can be viewed with pleasure. In addition, it reinforces some of the strategies that have worked by changing the old JPEG program. The JPEG XL workflow is tension-free and loss-free and a good program for powerless network applications. It is expected to perform better than current power lines and will largely replace it from now on. JPEG XL provides transmission with the most important features: st High risk of poor image compression. ✓ Best image compression without data loss. dis Gradual separation enc JPEG encryption without loss. for is designed for intuitive and tidy graphics. Fast programming for coding and interpretation. help Complete help for Wide Access and HDR. • Make the reference giver more tangible. Software Free software, open source and incompetent thanks to jpegxl.info" text = "jpegxl.info" for excellent collection! Windows JXL Support There are several ways to enable JPEG XL Assist in Windows. Unfortunately, Windows does not yet offer any neighborhood help. You can download modules created by monitors or use an external image monitor. Windows thumbnail update: now supports WIC decoding! JXL logs can be viewed using Windows Photo Viewer or other monitors with WIC experience. With the Windows File Explorer JXL-Winthumb module you can display thumbnails of JPEG XL documents (* .jxl). Install Microsoft Visual C Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 if not currently available. Download the latest DLL report from the development page. Open the terminal window as a boss. Go to your registry where the DLL report was found. Type reg regsvr32 jxl_winthumb.dll and press Enter. Get support for JXL Windows thumbnails here: https://github.com/saschanaz/jxl-winthumb External image viewer In addition to these modules and tricks, you can also use an external image viewer to view JXL reports aids, for example nomacs PhotoQT XnView MP ImageGlass JPEGXL WIC This method is not intended for the end customer, as it does not specify openness and presence. JPEG XL WIC Provides the Windows Imaging Components (WIC) implementation for a JPEG XL image layout. Causes Windows to clearly see the relationship between the JPEG XL report and the use of the JPEG XL codec in image management. With this new development, viewing photos is essentially the same speed as using Windows Explorer, Microsoft Photo Viewer, or Microsoft Photos. JPEG XL WIC in production, similar to the JPEG XL codec. The aim is to use the JPEG XL codec in Windows with a focus on HDR / WCG image recognition.

JPEG XL support has been added to Firefox Nightly! (90.0a1 (2021-05-09)
Thank you so much! jxl-winthumb sounds like it'll work for the time being; looking forward to eventual support in browsera and Paint.NET

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you can’t run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Don’t worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Don’t use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Don’t use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
https://www.jetpack.io/devbox
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you don’t need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
I’m planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!

How do I type letters with accent marks?
If you’re on Windows, download PowerToys. It’s an app published by Microsoft officially. Then enable Quick Accent in the settings of PowerToys. Now all you have to do is hold down the key you want accented until the switch shows up, then add an accent with your arrow keys.
