Seriously -- I propose that the "Save a Copy..." command should be removed and its functionality merged into the "Export As..." command.
I can provide three reasons why. 1 - Aside from the specific file format they write to disk, the commands are functionally identical. "Save a Copy...": - Always prompts for a filename. - Does not change the save file associated with the open image. - Does not clean the image state (GIMP may still prompt about unsaved changes) "Export As...": - Always prompts for a filename. - Does not change the save file associated with the open image. - Does not clean the image state (GIMP may still prompt about unsaved changes) 2 - "Save a Copy..." was 2.6's version of an Export command anyway, so you could output a standard file format from your open XCF without worrying about losing work if you forget to re-save your original XCF afterwards. 3 - It's been mentioned how the "Export" command needs a more prominent location in the cluttered File menu; right next to the normal (XCF) Save commands seems like a pretty good spot. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. |
