GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 505578
gthumb should save jpg images with the same quality ratio
Last modified: 2020-11-14 09:13:09 UTC
I'm see that the quality that gthumb propose for saving jpg images is the last quality set. For example, if you save an image with 90% quality, all subsequent save will have that default value. I think it would be better to do the way gimp does, detecting the actual jpg quality and saving with that quality. Other alternative will be to let the user decide whether saving with last quality set or with current cuality. A gconf option, if not a prefereces option, could permit to choose between the two behaviour.
That is something I would also like to see.
Marking as obsolete, as the 2.x version are no longer supported. Please feel free to reopen this bug report if it describes a problem that still occurs with a current version of gThumb (currently 3.4.1).
Detecting actual jpg quality keeps being a useful enhancement, because actual behaviour gives possible data losses, if the quality set in preferences is worst than the actual quality of the image.
