Hi! My 2c on the issue - This change is GOOD not only for the target audience but to the novice too! You would not belive how may times people new to graphics have come to varoius gimp channels asking how i can change text on this here image I saved from gimp yesterday as jpg or png and I have to tell them that they cant! and they are not even aware of the xcf as a format that would allow them to change the composition at any time. In the worst case, they have managed to destroy the original by overwriting it too! The noobs are safe from destructive mistakes and the pro-s are happy because it now works the way that is the defacto industry standard. Only people that complain are the intermediate users that have habbits they have to change now... Very human. And slightly tedious. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
