We are basically left with two options: 1) "Use custom quality settings" - Hard to understand for most users - Technically correct description - No need to change the code; this is what we have now 2) "Use quality settings from original image" - Easier to understand for most users - Correct description for the most common usage scenario - Requires some small changes to the code - Breaks the string freeze before 2.4 It seems that going for (2) would be better for the users but wouldannoy some translators. But I got several requests to go for somethinglike option (2), so I would like to know if it is worth breaking thestring freeze. Opinions? -Raphaël P.S.: please do not mention bikesheds._______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
