[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 564279, member: 18896"] It was originally done to fix the corrupted images, because the error handling for the PNG image format allowed for better detection when things went wrong. Now that the corrupted image problem has been corrected another way, the PNG Image format method was no longer needed. And v0.7.5 was also saving with PNG image format, it just was using JPG extensions. And PNG image format has a lot of benefits over JPEG, especially when you have text inside the image. The JPEG image format generates a lot of artifacts then, which you can find ample examples on if you search on the subject. But that relates more to the cover thumbnails which undergo a resize. The backdrops and covers are already obtained in JPEG format, so a direct save-to-disk would be best solution, and that is what I believe is done now via: [url=http://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/source/detail?r=1018]r1018 - moving-pictures - Project Hosting on Google Code[/url] But you would need to compile SVN yourself to get that functionality now, or be patient till developers think it is time for beta3/RC1 to be released.
