At wikimedia commons I was hinted that lossless cropping of jpg files exist. Strange it didn’t come to my mind searching for something like that myself.

But the recommended tool cropgui has an at least unaesthetic flaw: the cropped image contains no EXIF data anymore.

Having had a second look at the site of the author I guessed he ran into the same ugly behaviour of jpegtran tools I hit myself some time ago:
Jpegtran discards all EXIF data if it is not explicitly told to keep them, which happens with the switch “-copy all”.

To fix this issue at the cropgui-script (until the author does it himself) just do the following:
in cropgui.py, replace the line

task.add([’nice’, ‘jpegtran’, ‘-crop’, cropspec, image_name], target)

with

task.add([’nice’, ‘jpegtran’, ‘-copy’, ‘all’, ‘-crop’, cropspec, image_name], target)

Ich wüsste zu gern, ob meine Nachbarin ebenso freundlich zu mir wäre, wenn ihr Mann mich letztes Jahr nicht beinahe überfahren hätte.

I’d really like to know if my neighbour would be as friendly if her husband would not nearly had run me over with his car last year.

Yesterday evening I put online the map of this years route.
The blue parts I went by bike or foot, the grey ones with motorised vehicles.
