Look for the file parasiterc which holds the saved default values and delete it. Maybe something stuck in there.

Next time you export to a jpg set the quality and Save the Defaults Gimp will write a new parasiterc on exit. That works for me same as previous posts.

You can look at the file in a text editor, I do not understand the entries but by comparison, the first two entries in the long string govern quality.

example

Code:

saved quality 85
(parasite "jpeg-save-defaults" 1 46
"\70\65\56\................\60")

saved quality 90
(parasite "jpeg-save-defaults" 1 46
"\71\60\56.................\60")

saved quality 95
(parasite "jpeg-save-defaults" 1 46
"\71\65\56\................\60")

Might / might not make a difference.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I've just done that as described but when I quit GIMP and restarted, the default settings weren't automatically loaded/used........I had to click "Load Defaults".
