Along broad lines this workflow is or should be just as supported with export as it is with save, just the command you invoke is slightly different. There's one nag I wish was fixed with export. It should default to input format for imported files. It's buggersome annoying that it defaults to png. > If this process is going to be made a lot more complicated for workflows > like ours, then I hope that there will eventually be an optional mechanism > to override the save/export process based on input and output file formats. A) it wont be. You can just map Ctrl-s to export, if you dont need to save XCF-s and nothing wil change for you. b) This mechanism already exists. If you save with same parameters all the time write/find a plugin that invokes the save with all the parameters already set. You can just prompt for filename and even manage folders automatically and save without any hassle. If you havent done any scripting but have done programming, it shoudnt take you more than 8 hours to churn out first version, less if you find a good starting sample from google first. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
