Well, I feel that the "Save As..." is quite different, because we don't touch the source data. But anyway, ok. I'll close the ticket then. >>> Yes yes, I know that I'm not the target user and I probably will have to end >>> up using something like darktable or similar (even if I prefer geeqie for >>> browsing, directories for organizing and gimp for editing) but I want to > > [snip] > >> So you see!

That's not really what I said. :-) I feel there is not just 1 single type of target users of GIMP, is more what I am saying.
