IMHO there are 5, too many of them, which most probably confuses users (I was as to the «export as» function). From what I have understood, correct me if I'm wrong: Six, actually. Save / Save As / Save a Copy for XCF files, Overwrite / Export / Export As for standard image formats. (And why Overwrite and Export should be separate commands at all is a design issue I personally do not agree with.) > "Save a copy" and both the "export" functions play the same role on the user's perspective: the working project remains "dirty". Precisely. I have brought this up before on the mailing list (to mixed responses), "Save a Copy" WAS the 2.6 version of "Export" so now that Export is officially a separate command "Save a Copy" is of such limited use (depending on your workflow) that there is no point in having it anymore and it could be easily combined under Export. As noted, neither command cleans the save state of the open project so it should not be GIMP's job to mandate that you can't "export" an XCF to disk. > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > gimp-developer-list gnome org > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list > > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > gimp-developer-list gnome org > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list |
