Sorry, I must have missed that bit:-) As far as I recall, you basically said "but what about people opening files they didn't make", and I'm afraid I can see no obvious connection to the topic at hand, which is trying to unravel the logic of Gimp to switch to an import/export workflow, because "data loss". As far as I can ascertain, the logic is broken in two places, one when the assumption is made that any file has to be automatically promoted to a superset format and therefore can't be save back to the file format that it was opened from without some sort of data loss because of that superset having the mere capability of holding information the format can't handle, and the other being that when lossily compressed images are opened, the lost bits have to be replaced with invented zero's and thereafter these plucked-out-of-the-air bits are simply assumed to be of absolute critical value to the user, in spite of any indication that they are content with that level of compression vs. file-size.
