Can be more specific? Do you now of any other application that has
something like this?

reading/saving file formats are abstracted out into an addon-based kit of
their own (src/kits/translation). Apps can thus iterate through the roster
of available formats, and use any of those to save to the appropriate
format without having to reimplement those themselves. Those translator
add-ons in turn can export configuration views which let you fine tune how
they save (i.e. the one for JPEG allows adjusting the level of compression
and a few other things). The translation kit portion of http://www.haiku-
os.org/legacy-docs/bebook/ should answer any questions you have on the
details of using those add-ons/retrieving the configuration view from
them.
In Screenshot the list of image formats that you can choose from is
generated using BTranslationUtils, and saving the image is also done with
the Translator kit, so everything is fine as I far as I can tell.
I looked at the Showimage application and I couldn't find a "Settings..."
button to "change translator settings" like humdinger requests. As far as
I an tell the translator kit documentation doesn't mention any settings
either.
I am probably missing something here, but if you can give me something
concrete about what settings that are needed (and why) I can see if I can
implement it.
