Hello! Excuse my poor English.
Summary:
Treating a .JPS (and .STJ) file the same way as a .JPG and .JPEG is expected.
Some word more
The best photo viewer in the world is (only) the nearly best because one irritating missfeature.
Even if we can add a "foreign" file types (under "options->set file associations->other)
and the added type will be listed and processed in expected manner, if the file
is a "known" type (b.ex. JPG) IrfanView resolves the JPG file type and asks for
renaming to .JPG
In fact, a .JPS file *is* a JPEG one.
The only formal restriction is a even horizontal pixel size, the essetial is a "two images
in one file".
The .JPS file type is used by stereoscopic viewers for automatic distinguish whether
user wants use pairs of separate left-right images from separate files (named .JPG
of course) or pair of images coupled in one .JPS file.
The same applies for much rarer .STJ files, where are a three-images "universal
freeview L-R-L" (both "proper" and "reversed" stereo depth are side-by-side and
then one is always proper for crosseye viewing).
WANTED absolutelly:
What is absolutelly needed and probably is not a problem in implementation: treat
please the .JPS extension exactly as a .JPEG one, which is a "allowed alias" for
.JPG and works as expected. The same applies for .STJ files.
What may be useful for possible future type collision: a "do not ask for rename"
checkbox beside the (existing!) selected by user types list or a separate "do not
rename" types list, IMO the second may be a overkill.
Eventual minor extension support:
IV is not a "program for anything" then a stereoscope support (like anaglyph)
is IMO not expected.
But IV *may* check if a .JPS file has even size of horizontal pixels and a .STJ
file has the (horizontal) size divisible by three and warn if not.
For a further minor (really minor) stereoscopic support I will ask separatelly.
