The Save-Export split is described in the Release Notes for 2.8, linked from the downloads page: http://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html It's always a good idea to read the release notes when upgrading software if you want to be warned about user interface changes. (Do I always remember to do that myself? No. But if I forget to look, I don't complain afterward about not having been informed.) The change was also discussed on the gimp-user list starting in early May 2012. (It was discussed on IRC and the developer list much earlier than that, of course, but users aren't expected to see that.) And it has been discussed a lot since then -- my mail folder tracking this topic is up to 1722 messages now, and that doesn't count forums. I don't like the Save-Export split either (and said so in 2012), but it's baffling to see people complaining about not being notified in 2016 about a change that was clearly documented and discussed back in 2012. As for sticking with 2.6 and refusing to upgrade: really? Well, it's your choice, of course, but there's no way I'd stick with an older version just because of something that's so easily worked around in a program as configurable as GIMP. You can learn to use export, you can customize your key bindings, you can use a plug-in that does what you want (that's what I did: google for "gimp saver"). GIMP 2.8 has some great new features and 2.10 will have even more. You're free not to upgrade, but you're shortchanging yourself. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
