Hi,

I have a simple script-fu which gimp-file-load's an image and gimp-file-save's it back out, unchanged. Eventually, it will do something useful, but for now it's a sanity check of my (mis)understanding of script-fu. It works for gif, but on jpg the result looks as if the quality is 0. I thought Gimp would use some reasonable default quality. If I change the script to interactively gimp-file-save (0 not 1), then the save dialog does specify a quality of 0.75 and the jpg looks fine. I can't use file-jpeg-save because I can't assume jpeg. I can't use the interactive save because this will be applied to many images, probably via the script-fu server (from scheme). For now I'm testing using the script-fu console.

I'm running Gimp 1.2.3-4 from the RedHat 7.3 distribution.

Thanks,
