Current versions of GIMP 2.8 also note if the file has been recently exported
(with no further changes made to the image), however I do agree that if the
user has to deal with this confirmation message all the time then GIMP is
essentially "crying wolf" to their workflow and this runs a real risk of
dismissing things out of habit and losing work as a result.
On a tangent, when GIMP prompts to save changes I would rather it not remind me
how long it's been since the last (bonafide) Save command. If I'm currently
multitasking, I may open a file and make a few quick edits, then be working on
other applications for the next hour-plus. When I come back, GIMP prompts to
save. That's good and all, but the way GIMP phrases it is annoying because I
haven't actually spent the "last hour" doing work on it. I'M the one who knows
how much work I might be losing by closing it without a proper Save and in this
case it's only a minute or two tops. All GIMP has to do is remind me that
unsaved changes exist at all, not make guesses of when or how much.
