Bug Description
When I launch Gnome-screenshot, either by the menu or by hitting PrintScreen key, I can save the output file only in PNG format. There should be an option for saving such files as JPEG.
In fact, I believe JPEG should be the default format for saving screenshots in that program, as they take less space on the disk, are easier to upload to a site and download from one. For instance, now I have to make a screenshot, navigate to the folder where it has been saved, open the file in Eye of Gnome and save it there as JPEG before sending it to a friend.
Even if JPEG won't be the default file format in gnome-screenshot, I would be delighted if it could save pictures in JPEG.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.
This seems to be more of a personal preference, This does not increase usability in anyway. Hence not a papercut. Also .png files is an open source format and have more quality than .jpg
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
