I think that this option is still useful. Maybe not for disabling it when it is enabled, but for enabling it when it is not enabled automatically. It is usually better to use the custom quantization tables if they are better than your default quality settings. But if they are not better, then it is nice to give a choice to the user. If the quantization tables found in the original file are not better than your default quality settings, then the option "Use custom quality settings" will be available but not enabled. This ensures that you always get at least the minimum quality specified in your defaults. If you did not make major changes to the image and you want to save it using the same quality as the original, then you can do it by enabling this option. Would "Use existing image quality settings" be a better name for this?_______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
