And this is the actual problem we are trying to cure. Take a simple
task, add text to image. I cant believe how many people show up asking
us how they can change text on a jpg image they made with gimp. They
have no idea they could have actually saved the composition as an XCF.
Save/Export separation WILL cure this ignorance and save a lot of work
for many people.
