Good news: XL-converter, the batch #JPEGXL transcoding GUI app, is now available as a #flatpak app on @flathub: https://github.com/JacobDev1/xl-converter/issues/95
I'll be looking forward to trying it out to losslessly re-encode my tons of .JPEG photos to #JXL to save space…

Someone sent me a 965 megapixels photo (44472×21704) 
So of course I tried opening with Loupe, the #GNOME image viewer! 
It handled the original PNG fine. Impressive!
However, trying to open the #JPEGXL version… well, Glycin's #JXL decoder definitely did *not* like it 
Reported here with a sample file: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glycin/-/issues/127
Found a new image converter GUI app that can do batch #JPEGXL lossless conversion (rarest thing on earth, seriously?), but it's not on Flathub, it only provides Ubuntu and appimage packages, and the README says, "The recommended way of using XL Converter is through the official binary releases. The building process is time-consuming and tedious."
I don't expect it to be packaged for Fedora, so yeah, I guess I'm making a wish for an official #flatpak version here: https://github.com/JacobDev1/xl-converter/issues/95
"Switcheroo" by @adhami is a fantastic batch image conversion utility for #GNOME, and it is one of the few ones that actually uses #MozJPEG for encoding #JPEG images. I use it to optimize my photographic images for the web (until #JXL takes over the web someday) emails, or other lightweight image purposes.
Much faster than the Yoga image optimizer (which uses an excruciatingly slow JPEG encoder at the moment) or than encoding images only one at a time with Squoosh!
First JXL/DNG shot on the new camera. It's amazing but already miss the weight and size of the 12mini.
