IMHO the distinction between saving and exporting is an artificial one no one really should need to care about. The old behavior was productive and never got into the way of performing the task at hand which was to save the edited image to a format of choice. Why the dialog had to be split eludes me completely and annoys the heck out of me. If you want to add to the usability any file save operation should in some way or another save the image to a versioned database in whatever form is required to be able to continue from that place (let's call that a master copy). Then no one should need to remember to first save and then export the picture. If reopening an image in whatever format would then solicit to open the saved master copy instead if that master copy exists. This would make the use of the saved image implicit and remove the need for the artificial distinction between saving and exporting and image... BTW: I asked a few of my friends (who are less into image editing but well capable of using a computer and who at most only knew the GIMP by name) what export was supposed to mean and they all responded that it was the use of external resources to store the image (FB, Flickr, Dropbox)... -- regards Karl Günter Wünsch _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
