This specifically for Compression/No compression

The paragraph above which you deleted, reffered to an options button which
would show the necessary dialog to choose from compression levels other
than the basic Compression or None which could be covered by the file type
list.

If you have Microsoft Windows take a look at Paint Shop Pro, it has an
options buttons (as do other applications) and it works well.

The alternative gets way too cluttered, too many settings or like the GIMP
shows you a settings dialog every time that even if you do need regularly,
you certainly dont need every time.

Hope I explained better this time.
