I send the mock up to the gimp-Ui brainstorm. And for end users that may be interested ,in the while RobA cooked a script that offer basically equivalent features obviously can't offer same GUI of my mock up, but allow 1 ) to Save+Export , popping out a error message if the image was not already saved 2 )to Save AS + Export ...this basically allow to run the Save As dialog as usual and then automatically export copies in the chosen format Actually Export only in jpg and png but should be trivial add more format option But has a price to crowd even more the File menu with 2 additional entries while, in my opinion a similar added option to the Save dialogs will not screw up the GUI and will be clear and handy . Maybe no much feel the need as now but is hard feel the need for something never experienced before... Once experienced may be more clear that may be a time saver anyway the script works may be easy edited to add more export format (for example tiff, psd) and is here http://ffaat.pointclark.net/incoming/scripts/save_and_export_1.2.scm >> This assumption is wrong.

Your point is not too clear to me, i agree that a composition may take weeks, but at the end (at least in most cases ) as, not only to be saved but also to be exported Sure would be much less needed for who has to export only once in week,and much more needed by who has to export Save last edit +Export every 30 minutes But as added option seems to me unobtrusive in that Spheciphic GUI and the distiontion between SAVE and EXPORT is not only preserved but may even made more clear (at least in the mock up) -- photocomix (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
