Hello, I wanted to give my opinion about that subject ; here's my story… I am a long time user of Gimp, I used to have previous versions than the current 2.8 on my previous old computer (who was running on Windows XP!). I took many fonts, brushes, special effects, all I can find interesting over the Internet to have a full and useful Gimp.
I recently bought a new computer (damn, it's so so fast now! *_* ), so I downloaded the last versions of my usual softwares. So as Gimp, with that 2.8 version. And… errr… this topic is exactly what I think : I really don't like that "export" feature, which is totally useless to my eyes. As I am a bit of a webmaster, I use many browsers to see how my websites look like in each of them. And when Google Chrome, some years ago, came up, and begin to get more and more people using it, I knew what was its mean strenght: the URL bar is the same as the Search bar. It means : 2 differents things can be treated by only 1 place ; the software is enough clever to "know" what the user want to do. And so was a good point with the "Save" function of Gimp : 1 button, and we were able to save our files as everything we wanted. Xcf, jpeg, png, gif, etc., and that was awesome. 1 button to do everything. That's why I think this "Export" function is really pointless, and I'll probably downgrade to the previous version of Gimp, because it's apparently the only way to get back what is, to my eyes, a great improvement : 1 button for everything. -- Sam_ (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
