I am more concerned about the all other options on the

I forwarded a received patch for making the dialog tabbed once (and in
general cleaning it up), but it never got accepted.

I personally have no clue what Restart markers or DCT method of Fast
integer means in practice. So maybe someone who knows can look into this,
and try to think what options are really necessary, and if there is really a
point in showing some of them to the user, how to label it so you dont need
to be a member of the Join Photographic Experts Group to know how to use the
save dialog :-)

Good point -- now personally, I think I use everything except Restart
markers nearly _every_ time I use the JPEG filter, but then I added this
crap ;-)

What about a button Advanced options, which toggles the visibility of
the advanced options? The initial state can then be specified in gimprc.

That might work too, but the tabbed approach has the advantage that it
also makes the dialog box look and work better on smaller screens.

[Gimp-developer] show jpeg preview time

2001-06-20 Thread Iccii

Hello,
I'm using the GIMP to creat image files for my web site.
So, I want to know how much time is necessary for loading
the images which is saved by jpeg or other file type.
It's useful to show loading time in jpeg saving dialog.
See attachment file if you interested in it.

Thanks. G'bye.

Its a nice patch.  I think it should get into the development CVS tree
(but probably not the 1.2 stable branch, since this is definitely a
new feature).

Just one thing: 14.4Kbps means 14.4 * 1000 bits per second, not 14.4 * 1024.
Similarly, 10Mbps is 10 * 1000 * 1000 bits per second, not 10 * 1024 * 1024.

1024 is only involved when addresses are, ie for sizes of buffers,
memory, files.  Never when talking about bandwidth.

 IMHO, the JPEG dialog box is cluttered up enough as it is. In
 addition, predicting loading speed is a much more difficult factor
 than just taking the theoretical maximum of a line -- don't forget
 that one usually loads a HTML file along with the image, for instance,
 and one often has multiple images per page. In addition, server load
 etc. could also influence this. Thus, I don't think such a number
 makes too much sense :-)

I agree. There are too many variables influencing load time on the 
web. Any good web design reference will tell you what size to limit 
your files to. 

What would be nice though, and I hope I am not asking for something 
that already exists, is a web export filter that shows previews and 
file sizes of the same image in different formats.

I've seen shareware programs for such things, and I considered
implementing it in GIMP once, but I wrote the JPEG previewing
functionality instead, which I find quite a lot cleaner and simpler to
use (now, the _code_ sucks, but... ;-) ). :-)
