[CinePaint] 'Save All' (jpg) from CinePaint Flipbook is painful

hi!

I'm using CinePaint 0.25.0 on Ubuntu Linux 10.10-alpha3

The situation i'm getting is about productivity when using the Flipbook

It works ok when we edit their frames (i'm opening these frames like
with 'cinepaint -seq 150 /somewhere/frame00203.jpg' from terminal)

The problem is when i need to save them - these frames are in .jpg
format (i'm not planning to use other formats, since it's good enough
for what i'm doing, and .jpg frame sequences works awesome with ffmpeg
as well)

After working on all Flipbook frames, we are asked about the Parameter
Settings (Save as Jpeg) for each frame (painful for a hundred, and
much more for a thousand or tens of thousands...), which settings
could appear perfectly only for the first save, and applying the same
Parameter Settings (as i'm doing) automatically for all next frames,
or even better, these settings being available also from the CinePaint
preferences, which settings could be predefined there as well, and
also if we wanted to be asked about Parameter Settings when doing
'Save All' from Flipbook

And as well, i'm somehow concerned about RSI (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_strain_injury ) when clicking
on 'OK' so much times repeatedly in a short period of time. :|

Thanks!
