In those programs Export is usually used when the output format issignificantly different from the program's native format (eg. when youwant to create a bitmap from a vector drawing program, or when youcreate a PDF - in both of these cases, you wouldn't be able to openthe resulting file in the original program, and edit it like you cando with the formats that can be saved to; of course, you can edit thebitmaps you "export" in GIMP 2.7, so I find this "feature" annoying). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > This will hurt me more than it hurts you. -- Hare's Additional Lie _______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
