... sigh... Let me explain this again. Difference between Save and Save As... and Export and Export As... is only one - The latter ALWAYS prompts for a name, the former prompts for name once if its a new file and not again, overwriting the file previously saved or loaded silently. this is a long standing tradtion in software. Save an Export separation itself is a result of moving twoars separating destructive and nondestructive actions. Save is "safe" and always keeps everthing you can see in GIMP UI - you can continue editing from it. Export is always destructive. No other format than XCF supports all gimp features. This separation is not up for negotiation. There are workarounds in form of scripts that re-enable the possibly destructive workflows. Feel free to use them. The workflows will not be supported in vanilla gimp. :) _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
