The code is really well written and structured, so after looking into it for a bit I got confident, that we can address some issues and provide fixes.

I list a few things I see

• The setup is a bit broken, with some configuration overrides not setup by default ( more a dev env problem but still )
• The JpegFile class is broken at the crop part due to an unclean conversion to a static method static. - That's not an issue in production though because:
• The JpegFile, PngFile and probably also GifFile sub classes are never used for file operations it seems. There's just always the plain File class used. This seems be responsible for a set of problems there. The split into these classes is a result of a refactoring that took place in 2020 and was never really fixed. See also the post on the discussion page where that was highlighted Lossless mode no longer working?.

At least these three things seem to be fixable and would repair some parts of the workflow. We only would need help to merge and deploy the code from the current maintainer.

The main issue reported here got fixed by merging and deploying of pull request on GitHub. We will also not further work on this, so I'll mark this ticket as resolved and close it.
