Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux It would be nice if JPEG Lossless plugin allowed also for cropping of JPEG images. I can do that with external GUI tool now (MaPiVi), but it would be easier to have it inside of digiKam to simplify the workflow. P.S. I am aware about the discussion in mailing list http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-devel/2006-January/002929.html more than two years ago and the limitation to block size. My view is that lossless cropping is still useful: point-n-shoot cameras store images in JPEG and I use quite often (cca 90 %) the JPEGs embedded in raw files without any editing other than rotation and cropping. Archiving those images in PNG would lead to significant increase of storage requirements without other benefits and lossy re-compression leads to unneccessary quality deterioration.

Gilles, the last commit here is about auto-crop but does not affect kipi-plugins. Did you close the wrong bug? Michael
No i don't close the wrong bug. In fact JPEGLossLess tool is deprecated now in digiKam and is replaced by BQM, as all Batch plugins (progressively)... Gilles
