Package: trimage
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hi,

trimage without question compress images, without doing backup files.
Files often store additional metadata including permisions,
modification files, ACL and xattrs.
All of them are lost in process of the compression.

I suggest first things is to preserve them.

Second is more a GUI design. Why not first preview
compression ratio? I know it will be two pass,
but output files can actually be cached somewhere,
(in same directory),
and removed when files are removed from list
or trimage quits.

I know the label says "Add to list and compress",
but it do not says "save and overwrite". It is not obvious.
Especially when you first try program, it supprise you,
and changes files.

"Add to list and preview", "Compress" would be better IMHO.

Similary one could want to preserve other metadata,
like exif (usefull camer settings, gps location, image orientation),
but others do do want (prior to publishing in the Internet,
want to remove it - for privacy and even smaller size).
There should be an option (single checkbox) to preserve
exif (or other technologies in other formats) in compressed images.

Thanks.
