Is this not a failure because I saved the png? That's another thing. And we believe that we fixed this long-standing confusion in the development branch by making Save always save to XCF. You now need to explicitly export your image to PNG and this operation does not clear the 'dirty' state. But yeah, this thread is confusing. Instead of filing a bug report about the fact that changing a comment does not mark the image as dirty, people have started to accuse GIMP (and its developers) of hiding important messages from the user. The real problem here is a bug and it still doesn't have a bug report even though lots of people found the time to contribute to this thread. Another problem is that the default for the 'trust-dirty-flag' property is perhaps not that well chosen. On the other hand, we changed this before GIMP 2.6 and it took like a year before the first complaint came in. So it appears to have worked quite well for most people... I am still convinced that it would be better to change the default back to 'no'.
