Hi, we could try to propose this as a SoC project: - Redesign and reimplementation of Save and Export in GIMP. Change the semantics of Save and Save As so that images are always saved in the XCF file format. Only the native GIMP format really saves all the image information and allows to losslessly continue editing later. So only saving as XCF should clear the dirty flag of the image. Saving to other formats than XCF is done by exporting the image. The File menu should have an Export menu item (and perhaps also Export As). This opens a dialog that asks the user what to export. The projection (what you see), the active drawable, an animation based on the layers of the image, etc. If the image consists of a single layer this step can be skipped. The dialog then gives the user the choice of a file format including options for that format. It also uses a GtkFileChooser widget to pick a save location. The details of this Export dialog could be determined as part of the redesign or we could try to come up with a detailed proposal beforehand.
