If compiling the MWE as pdfLatex all is good. Compiling as Latex raises compilation ERROR ! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in M51.jpg (no BoundingBox), although a pdf output is produced.



To add to the confusion the TeXMaker logfile says for both This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2018/W32TeX) rather than TeX for one and pdfTeX for the other.



This may just be yet another ploy to confuse lesser minds, it is even difficult to turn it into a question. This seemed to be one: "If a document includes any .png, .jpg or .pdf files compile as pdfLatex". But if continued: "… else, also compile as pdfLatex because it is clearly an improvement on Latex." the question is no more. And why would I want to search a very large project for the occurrence of .png, .jpg or .pdf files to decide how to compile it?



So, when to compile as Latex in preference to pdfLatex, and why? That's the question. And it may well relate to an idiosyncracy in TeXMaker.



Apologies, I don't know how to supply the graphics file, but those wishing to compile the MWE may plug in any .png, .jpg or .pdf available.
