So I press save, and go for a coffee, and come back confident my

status bar message.
Please, if I go to overwrite another file, I get a big warning, and
I want that.
If I try to save and it doesn't work, I want a warning too.
We are not talking about a save failure here. An image w/o changes does
not need to be saved. So there is no failure here.
This thread is confusing me a bit. I have an xcf that I use to generate
png images for
a website. If I open the xcf, modify it, then save as png, and then
quit, the change to
the xcf is lost with no warning or, as far as I can see, any status
message. I'm using
2.6.6-6.fc11.x86-64. Is this not a failure because I saved the png?
We could make the Save action insensitive for an image that is not
dirty, then it would be more obvious that it won't do anything.
A clear warning not just that one of the gargoyles on the
gate-posts fluttered one eyelid in the dark when no-one
was watching. Make me press OK :-)
Even if I had previously saved to the same location, GIMP
is surely not checking things like the USB device ID on a
remote network drive, and has no idea I changed the thumb drive.
It doesn't even look at the file on disk. It just checks the image's
dirty flag. If you dislike that behavior, there's the 'trust-dirty-flag'
option that you can turn off.
