I would like to have a tool that intelligently considered my photo collection, and shrank the JPGs where applicable.
More specifically, it would look at a JPG, see that the details in the JPG won't be affected by a higher compression ratio, and then re-compress the JPG using a more aggressive compression (e.g., a lower quality setting).
Typically I'd use the default "quality" setting in my camera, but for many images, that's just unnecessarily making the file size bigger than needed.
Everything I've seen fails to offer this feature, except one tool: http://www.jpegmini.com/
However, jpegmini is not available for windows. Anything out there that can do what jpegmini does, but for windows?
I don't want a "dumb" recompression that would just recompress all my photos, because some photos would be excessively harmed and lose detail. So that's what I'm looking for, the "smart" analysis that jpegmini does when determining how much native JPG compression may be applied.
Ideally it would also preserve all the metadata, such as the date picture was taken and comments etc.
