The KDE HIG says "Save" should be preserve all information and "Export" should allow making a copy that has less information.

That works Ok for programs such as KWord and KSpread, in which there is a native format to save to. For digikam, this would be awkward, since you can open a JPEG, but you wouldn't be able to save it again, since it's lossy...

The alternative would be to apply the same separation to Open/Import. But that adds even more awkwardness: users can't open JPEG anymore! They have to import it.

That's an interesting question to solve.
