however, the new version uses the following syntax:

If you use the new syntax with the old version, it enters an endless loop, which causes the plugin to hang.
AFAIK, libjpeg-turbo is a fork of jpegtran that uses the old syntax. I.e. you can't use it to optimize .jpeg files under Linux. |
Actually, this is not the syntax I use. I specify the switch outfile and that should work anyway. However, I will probably use the alternative that DiapDialer mentioned to make it more flexible.
