I see all this critique as completely ridiculous. That's why I posted
about it. Gimp is a professional level app and it's free. What more do
people want?
I use Gimp for painting purposes so I end up with complex Gimp

sense. I can'

"Do you really use it ? Ergonomically speaking, Gimp is now an xcf editor."
Gimp is an image editor that can import or export whatever you want
but has it's own savable format for all the layers and other data to
store for later editing. Hence the differentiation of saving and
exporting.

It's not logical to save a whole session if all one does is touch up a jpeg
file.
On the other hand, for people who do complicated image building over many
sessions, it makes sense to save a project and in that case it would be logical
to have an option that allows gimp to open the previous pr

No, so then the logical thing is to export. Why is this such a
problem? Export is separated from save dialog to make it difficult to
accidentally lose you data. If you accidentally save to xcf rather

Hello, evryone.
I agree with what Ryan is saying.
It took a little to get used to the new way of saving and exporting, but it
is not more cumbersome than any other program.
