Want to praise JPEGCrops? Want to warn against JPEGCrops? Have you found a better program? Then this is the place. Take a look at the old comments, if you're curious.

Win7: I am a bit surprised that JPEGCrops apparently needs to run i compatiliblity mode. I need to investigate this, but it might be worth selecting User-level settings when installing so that JPEGCrops does not write to the install folder.
DPI: This is a bit fiddly and it seems to mess up the DPI for images from some scanners or cameras. A real solution is not on the immediate horizon, so I recommend turning DPI-tweaking off for those who has problems. If DPI is essential for you, you can tweak the Aspect.settings to adjust the DPI with http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ after it has been cropped.
Virtual Dub filter: This is not something I'll do. It seems like something that would be trivial to do if you master Virtual Dub and know how to call jpegtran, so I suggest asking a Virtual Dub wizard.

Thank you very much, Toke!!
Unfortunately, I do not read quite clearly, whether JPEGCrops writes only wrong dpi into the EXIF-Data???
I must be sure that really nothing is decreased at the picture before I use the EXIF-Tool afterwards to set the correct dpi again.
Could it not be a simple solution if JPEGCrops does not change the Exif-data but keeps as they are?

Toke, I've posted on Feb 15th another problem on your "bug-site", but I repeat it here, because you hav'nt seen it there. Maybe you have an idea:
"With me the first picture is never included in the synchron-cut. Only the images from 2nd until the end."
Thank you for an answer!

Lizzy: With regard to the DPI, then I recommend going to Settings | Special and turning off "Update PPI on crop". That ensures that only the jpegtran crop is applied to the image and that EXIF is left untouched.
As for the synchron-cut then it is unforgiven and only works on images of the exact same size.

Thank you! It works :-) Fine!
Is there a description how to update the thumbnails? (Those who are also rotated are updated)You wrote: it requires Image Magick, for Windows the Binary Releases, the Dynamic at 8 bits-per-pixel version. A further explanation, I have not found. If the thumbnails would be updated, then everything would be perfect. At the moment, unfortunately I see the uncropped image as the thumbnail.

In addition:
I talk about the thumbnails in the windows explorer.
