Re: [Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior



2012/8/6 Anoko <forums gimpusers com>:
I just want to add I'm also not happy with the new export vs save feature. I use GIMP for all my edit 
tasks; from complex foto editting to really simple screenshot taking and trimming it slightly. I used to 
love it for both, especially since it GIMP can do both small and complex tasks very easy. In 98% of the 
edits, I'm not using layers. I already almost always save everything in formats that do not lose 
information, often png, often for e.g. mailing. I don't want a xcf for screen shots or photographs...

I've seen the new "you have to use export" messagebox about 20 times now, very annoying ;-). Why is it not 
OK to allow saving to e.g. png (especially when not using layers!), but keep the export function ALSO as it 
is? That way, everyone will be happy I think?

Is it soooooooooo difficult to change one's habits a little, and to
learn simple shortcuts? Ctrl-E or Shift-Ctrl-E to export the image to
any format you wish, Ctrl-W Alt-W to close the image without saving
it. Seeing a warning message 20 times was clearly enough for teaching
me that I should use Ctrl-E instead of Ctrl-S.
