Re: [Gimp-developer] Update and apology

I'm not sure if that will work either. I mean, non-destructive workflows 
using GEGL will not work if there is any drawing on canvas, like a layer 
mask, or painting directly on a layer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I 
think that such operations will again require the megabytes that a layer 
in the xcf file currently demands. Use it on a sufficiently large image 
(I've worked with Panoramas with around 90 megapixels and multiple 
layers), and the file size is insane.

I guess that the only option is to tell users to hit Ctrl+S more often. :)
