"existing" could be interpreted as "the settings that are currently displayed in this window", which would not make much sense and would just confuse some users. I considered naming this option "Use original quality settings", but one thing that I forgot to mention in my previous messages is that it is possible to write a script or plug-in that attaches different quantization tables to any image. That would allow you to create an image from scratch or from an existing file and then save it as some other programs or devices would save it (e.g., save as "Photoshop quality 12" or save as "Nikon D70s Fine"). In fact, I am planning to release such a script soon. I have already started extracting quantization tables from a large number of JPEG images. Considering that the quantization tables attached to an image would not always be the original ones, I decided to write "custom" instead of "original" for the label of that option. It is not perfect, but I have not been able to find a better description.. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
