I wonder about the situation too. I thought it was my fault, that KImage cannot
save JPEGs. Is there someone who wants to make kimgio working properly ?

I think we need PNG- and JPG-write support in KDE for various apps. But we
shouldn't trust in TT. If an user has not installed the extensions he should be
able to write these image formats.
