Just curious: assuming I open an existing .png file, either do nothing
or just crop to some smaller dimension, then export it again as .png
file format. What is destructive in this case from the file type
perspective ? (your statement about export being *always* destructive)

Should I understand that in the exported version GIMP will alter
somehow the original .png file structure so that it becomes
"destructive" ?
