If you don't use 'Keep original file when encoded...'?


Yes, I was not aware, sorry. I had that experimental option "Keep original file when encoded result is larger (experimental)" enabled/ticked on the Batch Convert / Output tab. After un-ticking it, then the source 6kB .webp has been replaced ...

If you convert only webp/jpg, you have the same problem?

Sometimes I need to change sorting of files in XNView MP (1.8.6 Linux .deb) file browser yet I prefer image viewer (when i doubleclick image to view in a full screen) to display always alphabetically. I continuously forget to switch back to alphabetical.

Indeed. Thanks for very fast fixing!
Incredible file size savings: 3000x2000px (6Mp) 4MB file converted to a 300kB webp and I am unable to spot the difference in image quality! Very good.
