Hi all -- If a PNG filename has % or @ or an emoji, FO instantly reduces it to 0 bytes and is done optimizing. The file still exists, but in name only – obviously it won't open. I assume it's a specific tool within the stack, but I don't know which. Well, maybe it's a bug in FO itself. I haven't tested more characters. This is File Optimizer 16.90.2829.

Hi all -- The comparison table at the bottom of the 7-Zip homepage has erroneous numbers. It reports "100%" as the ratio for 7-Zip for both datasets. And 106% and 107% for WinRAR. These numbers don't seem to correspond to anything that I can figure. The actual values for 7-Zip are 46% and 14% of the original size. How could those values be converted to 100%? I can't see it. I've attached a screenshot of the table. If we were going by traditional ratios, then we'd have 2.17 and 6.93, where it's the...

Here's the link: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.6/python-3.9.6-amd64.exe My initial settings were with Enable UPX checked, and Disable PETrim not checked. That reduces the file by >99%.

I tested three exe files – the installers for NodeJS, cmake, and Python. It doesn't compress the first two at all, but it compresses the Python exe by 99%, and of course it doesn't work afterward. I've attached the screenshot and the error message when I try to launch the exe:

I'm having the same problem. My settings for PDFs are not saved. I set it to 300 dpi Prepress, and it always shows None if I close and re-open the app.

Hi so sorry, I completely forgot this, have no memory of it at all. I'll look it into it. I'm just not well-versed in creating Wikipedia articles. Small applications will often be tagged as "Not meeting Wikipedia's notability guidelines" and get deleted. I'm not sure what the specific requirements for "notability" are for software.

Hi Javier – The Download Latest Version button is still delivering 14.60 instead of 14.70. The Downloads page is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikkhokkho/files/FileOptimizer/ The button link is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikkhokkho/files/latest/download

Those are strange test results. APNG is normally much smaller than GIF. APNG is widely supported by all major browsers now: Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Edge.
