In another bug report (which I am having difficulty finding) a users complians of being asked too many questions during Save. To solve this i suggested that there should be a section in Preferences allowing you to set save options on the basis that you dont need to set these options every time you save, usually you will want to use the same ones most of them. There would also need to be an [Options] button in the save dialog to access it quickly and change a save option when needed. I would be very much in favour of having a Prefernces section Export (and possibly Import). Hopefully I can help recommend how this might be added. I would be inclined to push the feature request to Future.

It would be nice if preferences for plug-ins survived session changes. The way to do this might be in saving them to an rc file without providing an interface to changing them in the normal preferences dialog (this might be handy enough although Sven might have something to say about it). Basically some discussion is needed. Currently, the jpeg defaults suck. I would suggest following the advice in this bug and changing the default quality to 85%. Currently this is hard-coded in the plug-in. If someone were to spend a bit of time figuring out how we could do this better (and reporting here, and claiming the bug) that would be great. Cheers, Dave.
