VoodooPad images pages save as TIFFs

When creating an image page in VoodooPad, is there any way to have it not convert the image to a TIFF? I'm adding JPGs, but they're ending up as TIFFs and using 10-20x as much space as a result. I'd rather it didn't convert images to different formats.

    As to why and how I found this, I noticed that a VP document seemed much, much larger than expected. I found that if I add an image page and drag in a 5.4 MB JPG, the VP document size goes up by more than 90 MB. If I double-click the image in VP, it opens in Preview as a TIFF with a file size of 93.7 MB. That's going to make it difficult or impossible for me to use VP, so I hope there's a setting or something I can do to prevent this format conversion.

    I'm not sure why this is happening, but VoodooPad should use the source image format on image pages. We'll see if we can fix this in an upcoming update.

    You're right about using the source image format on image pages, it worked for me .
