Another developer that wants to either circumvent parental or administrator restrictions on the users ability to install programs by defaulting to install their program into the unprotected users %APPDATA% hierarchy:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Kingshiper\KSFileCompressor
Does not bode well for the developers desire to follow BEST practise programming and marketing claims rules.
At least we can change that to a safer location and a different drive letter.
Chose maximum compression… 100% “aspect ratio” which really is the scale control NOT aspect ratio, which defaults to 50% which is a cheat and a con as it reduces GIF dimensions by 50% which is a massive default quality loss to spoof compression.
Processing a 28.8MByte animated GIF resulted in a 28.7MByte compressed animated GIF… not sure how it tried to compress it but it certainly was not very successful in my view.
