I hope that you both read the message in which I was suggesting to use the terms "default", "original" or "current" depending on where some values come from. As I explained in that message, the "original" value (read from the file) will usually override any "default" value (coming from GIMP or from the plug-in). However, some plug-ins do not even attempt to read the "original" value for some parameters because for some file formats it does not make sense to re-use the same values as in the original file. For JPEG quality, I think that it is best to do as in Tor's patch: if the "original" value is higher than the "default", then use that. Otherwise, use the "default" so that the user is not surprised to have a file saved with a lower quality than expected. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
