In fact, this list is commonly considered to be harsh by many people, but now I learn that there's sensitive people here :-) I'm just trying to explain my point. I just want to help the project with my experience as a user, because I can't code. What makes sense for you, may not make sense for users. You find the quality setting of the original file to be "irrelevant", but obviously it isn't irrelevant for regular users like me. > Because you are using JPEG despite better knowledge that > it will do exactly that. If you say that a user must understand the jpeg internal structure before saving a single image, there's no much to talk about. I'll uninstall Gimp and will be working with Imagemagick via command line for processing my images. :-p Seriously talking: Gimp is a program with a GUI, it's having great useability improvements. It's obviously a program to be used by users, not just by developers. For a user, a non-linear scale and a destructive re-save without a warning are not obvious things. > I already explained that the JPEG plug-in cannot access the settings > that were used to save the file.

The problem is real, but the solution isn't that easy because it implies a complete change in the saving plugins? That's fine. But don't start saying that the problem doesn't exist or it's irrelevant, because it is not. Anyway, don't think I'm pissed off. I'm cool with all the replies. We may agree or not, but we all try to take Gimp to a higher level (some people coding, some people using it and trying to report problems like this). :-) Gez. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
