Probably by having a "legacy compositing mode" also when using GEGL. Making GIMP 2.6 XCF files not openable in GIMP 2.8 isn't an alternative.
what I mean is that right now (2.6) when overlay is chosen, soft light is executed. I think we should have in 2.8 a working overlay mode (also for legacy compositing). I think the following plan can technically work and is usable: - overlay gets repaired and assigned new mode enumeration number- when any old gimp file is opened and an old overlay mode is encountered,
soft light is substituted as the layer mode, also in the UI. this sub
does not mark the gimp file as dirty (changed).
this means old files display the same as before.
