I know what you want to do, but I'll not do it!' dialog several times tonight alone... nothing like re-navigating through stacks of directories from scratch after the 'Ha ha' message. I laugh along every time.) I understand that the devs want to move toward a totally nondestructive editor. I want to see that happen myself. That doesn't mean needlessly trading efficiency and long-standing experience with the most common workflow for... something that won't be here for a long time. 99% of the time I open Gimp, I couldn't care less about a project file. I grumble every time the project file is pushed on me. I almost never want it, and still won't even later when Gimp blossoms into its nondestructive butterflyness. So please, for the love of god, change the 'fuck you' dialog to something that doesn't slap the user instead of doing what the user wants, expects, and the code is perfectly capable of doing. e.g. an explanation, an 'I know what I'm doing' button (preferably with a 'don't show this again' checkbox that also makes the 'unsaved changes' warnings go away). The conceptual distinction between save [project] and export is real enough. However, the UI as set up now is obstructionist for no gain. Blaming the users with a big sigh and eye-roll isn't a strategy for long-term success. I tried it for a long time myself, it's not really a great plan.
