           Summary: Flickr export reencode jpeg before sending them
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: FlickrExport
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: esby at free.fr


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

Each time a file is sent to flickr upload, the file is reencoded as a jpeg.
The quality setting is used.
This is troublesome when the file uploaded is already a jpeg, since this will
result in a slight loss of quality.
Now the feature/bug is useful when you have a tiff to uploaded to flickr, since
it will encode it as a jpeg.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
upload a jpeg file to flickr, compare original filesize.


Expected Results:  
jpeg should not be reencoded if possibly.
There should be an option to let the user decide if the file needs to be
reencoded or not.

This results in quality loss during the upload.
