"existing" could be interpreted as "the settings that are currentlydisplayed in this window", which would not make much sense and wouldjust confuse some users. I considered naming this option "Use original quality settings", butone thing that I forgot to mention in my previous messages is thatit is possible to write a script or plug-in that attaches differentquantization tables to any image. That would allow you to create animage from scratch or from an existing file and then save it as someother programs or devices would save it (e.g., save as "Photoshopquality 12" or save as "Nikon D70s Fine"). In fact, I am planningto release such a script soon. I have already started extractingquantization tables from a large number of JPEG images. Consideringthat the quantization tables attached to an image would not alwaysbe the original ones, I decided to write "custom" instead of"original" for the label of that option. It is not perfect, but Ihave not been able to find a better description.. -Raphaël_______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
