My use case: I use GIMP for its mult-layer features, creating images from
scratch and I want to save all my work in this multi-layer format (XCF) but

I also hate the save/export feature, that does not bring any convenience at
all, and causes lots of errors when you are tying to save an image. In former
Gimp versions, typing the file name without extension was enough to save the

Although I don't have a neutral stance on it, I also see it as a
