Please stop reiterating these buzz-words; it starts to become annoying after a while. By removing the dialog you add an extra step to the workflow. The user will now have to fill the layer or add/remove the alpha channel. That does sounds like an extra burden. We need to look at this in more details. You can't just claim that the dialog would be useless and remove it. But I am sure that there are ways to improve the work-flow. > Try this in an early development version (like 2.5.2) and wait for > the learning effect (you changed it!) to go away.
