Again, the at Q=98 the file size is about the same as the camera provides already, so no waste of space happening.. > Third, there is no way to change the defaults in GIMP 2.2 > except by editing the C code for the jpeg plugin, > but we are working on a way to do this that should apply > to all plugins, and you can expect it to be available in > GIMP 2.4. Thank you! I already did the change in the source code (and it works), but good to know that there is some progress happening. There does not seem to be any schedule or roadmap on GIMP 2.4 available yet, but do you have any estimates on when 2.4 would be coming? This year? First half of 2006?
