Re: [Gimp-developer] Export instead save directly

[C R]

I think the real intention was to prevent the user from accidentally
writing to a file format that throws away any layers which have been
created and other useful image information. It was a little strange at
first for me, but I've gotten quite used to the hotkeys for exporting. It's
a shame to revert to 2.6 just for this reason. You miss out on a LOT of new
functionality, and all you've really done is save yourself the minor
trouble of learning a different save hotkey combo. Ctrl-E = Export or Alt +
F + W = overwrite. I use it as a celebration of each successful image edit
(Alt [F]or the [W]in!) ;)

There, now you may remember it. :)
Hope you reconsider!

My 2p.

I suppose that many users returned back to 2.6 for this reason.
There should be a clear warning that saving is still possible, only it 
was renamed to "overwrite".
IMO, the intention of the authors was to educate the users and remind 
them that at the opening of a file, the data are internally converted to 
the working format, and at the saving they are converted back to 
original format. But this intention missed its goal, because the user is 
not informed what and why was changed, and when he sees that the 
application behaves in a weird and user-unfriendly way, then the 
simplest solution is to downgrade back to the last sane version.

Because the image withing gimp is not png.  Export equals save to a
different format.  Export it is.

You are welcome to your choice.

[Gimp-developer] Export instead save directly

[Alexandra Sachsenweger]

Hello,
I have a little problem with the 2.8.16 version of Gimp. I'm not really 
so clear that other file formats can not be saved directly. I save my 
photos like in PNG and it must for this version export to PNG. What is 
this with the export? I find extremely impractical. Therefore, I will 
probably still to work with the 2.6.11 version on.

For this reason I will Gimp 2.8.16 uninstalled.
