The simple thing: Save (ie, PNG). B. The keep lots of your work data, even when working also with limited formats, way: Save (XCF) and in parallel Save a Copy (PNG). At some point I thought that was the first steps to a better and automated system, some kind of multiple save (like B, but once set up, all the outputs would be updated automatically by a single save trigger). Instead with 2.8 we got manual export. :( GSR _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
