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.

First, jpeg still achieves substantial compression,
and is still lossy, even at a quality setting of 100.
Yes, I know (see Henrik's post)
Second, the jpeg docs recommend not using quality settings
above 95, because they greatly
the dialog asking for the Q setting, but this is not really all that
smooth.
(No lectures on the default 85 being enough, thank you - it is not
enough, and I can clearly see artifacts on my edited digital photographs if
saved with 85.).
Thanks.
