Imagequality 80%

Question

How can i import an image into director without loosing
imagequality.
setting _movie.imagequality=100
and
_movie.imageCompression=#standard
do not help.
i like to have an bitmap member that is linked to an external
file.
where i can change the members filename and by doing so
import other images.
i have to import and export the same image many times.
if the import will loose quality every time there is no
quality left at all after 100+ times importing it.
for now i use shockfiler xtra to export using jpg 100%.
do i have to switch to directxtra directimage. ?

"Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this User Tip. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the method mentioned in the iLounge article towards the end of the post should work regardless.
Note restoring should clear all files from the iPod's drive however sometimes it doesn't actually seem to work. Options include manually deleting all visible & hidden files & folders via Explorer/Finder or formatting the drive.
There are also a couple of threads that suggest there might be a memory leak with some iTunes builds where the space for certain files that are removed from the device, such as expired podcasts, is not being returned to the filing system. I have not however confirmed the observation myself and there may well be other causes such as AV software holding up the timely transfer of files.
