[Qgis-developer] QGIS Server - WMS GetMap Jpeg compression

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Michael

At the moment, the compression rate is left to the Qt library both for 
png and jpeg (-1 is given to QImage::save). I agree it will be usefull 
to change from client or from project.

The problem here is that there has to be a new parameter for each 
compression rate. It might be better to have the possibility to 
configure the image quality in the project or by giving an optional 
parameter for the image quality (0-100 as the Qt parameter). So if the 
parameter is not there, the project setting is used. And if the setting 
is not set, -1 is used as it is now.

Regards,
Marco
