What I want is called a “Bounding Box Calculator”.
I hate JavaScript a little more, now
My own solution, so far, is crap.

31/1/2022 Addition: SVG – last paragraphs added

Just when I decided to give up JPEG for storing photos on my hard-disk and upon converting some folders with Nikon raw photos (*.nef) to JPEG2000, I stumble upon a variety of new image formats which all claim to be successors of the old JPEG.
