Hi grafxuser

The problem is not "to understand" !  All I know, all I see,  is that 
the change "save" and "save as" in Gimp-2.8 complicates my life too.
I use working method with Gimp-2.6 that allows me to save much time and 
sweat. Unfortunately   this method is impossible with Gimp-2.8, so, 
logically, I no longer use Gimp-2.8. This is final unless Gimp-2.6 
facilities "save" and "save as" are available again.
I wish this was a problem of adaptation, it would have been simpler. 
This is not the case.

Another problem in 2.8:
When you open a file like bird.jpeg, the file name "bird.jpeg" doesnt 
appear in the title bar. I only see "bird imported".......
It is very important to see in the window which file type you edit.

Best regards
Maderios
