and should really me a default feature of GIMP - not a plug-in. I'm not an artist. but use GIMP for my daily work , mostly cutting out objects from an image, resize and "save for web. The save for web should be given high priority. My reason for installing the 2.9.9 is that it seems that the handling of exif data and image comments have been improved in this version.
Gimp is built around plugins. Go and look in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ and see the number of file-(some file type) everything from file-aa through file-jpeg to file-wxd
Just a note, no good complaining here. No gimp developers in residence
Unlikely that it will be updated. If you go to https://github.com/auris/gimp-save-for-web you see the bulk is about 8 years old. You could ask there if it can be updated. I once tried a compile for Gimp 2.9 but too many errors.
If you look back at earlier posts, you see that png now has radically different modes and jpeg2000 looks like it has been dumped in favour of webp format.
The jpeg export-for-web did work in that kubuntu 16.04, not working in xubuntu 16.04? It will be a dependency somewhere.
Cut-resize-and-save? Not exact but this was made for the people who could not get to grips with the idea of exporting: http://shallowsky.com/blog/gimp/saver.html You can get a scaled copy.
You could ask one of the clever guys for advice on making a bespoke script/plugin.
