my second patch [OBSOLETED]

based on release 12.

* tidied up update + zoom button area

* removed log window - messages now appear in the statusbar

* squished everything up a little bit (repositioned reset buttons, and selectbox/spin controls on some areas)

* added I/O panel
** Merge an IGI (my merge code is probably wrong though)
** Save as JPG + JPG quality setting
** save as PNG
** save (untonemapped) as IGI - so that you can export your merged IGIs

* updated File menu to reflect new i/o

* reordered panels

I think I'm done for now. I realised I don't really know enough about digital imaging to be messing with much else.

I think the "save as"-buttons and especially the jpeg-quality button are only unncessarilarly using up space. Those things belond into the file menu.

A lot of people are complaining already about too much space used by buttons and sliders...And the save as is in the file menu in every other application so nobody would have to look for them, either.

I do agree that some of the buttons are not entirely necessary, however the main point of doing this was to include te JPG quality setting, which was not previously available... so seeing as I needed a row for that anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and fill the rest of the row with the other buttons.

If you really don't like it, go ahead and make your own version

The optimal position for that would be pop-up menu or new window when saving JPEG...

An alternative (if you are too lazy) would be to at least move the buttons for saving to the bottom of the sliders, since that should be the last thing to click.

Nah, I rather complain about what others do.

what I thought I'd do then was to move the JPG stuff into a new window, so that the compression quality could be previewed.

I got as far as creating a new window, and displaying the tonemapped image in it.... and then I discover that I can't get the image handler to display a compressed jpg image - the compression is applied when writing to file only.

I _could_ I suppose write a jpg to a temp file, and then load it back in for preview purposes, but this seems a bit wasteful, and would be quite slow for large images.

OR, find another jpg compression library and use that instead.

OR, let someone else do it
