Hi Ofnuts

You don't answer my question  about the reasons of the change concerning 
save and save as.
I simply try to understand and it's not easy because the change is not 
coherent.
It is strange that evolution that leads to slow down workflow is 
presented as a progress ...
I started my Linux and Gimp user life in 1999: Redhat, Mandrake, Suse, 
Mandriva, Fedora, Debian now, the best ...
I don't like desktops like Gnome, Kde, Xfce. I use E17, very light and 
nice desktop (yes it is), quite a long time

I had time and I take time to train me to adapt but I can't adapt  to 
waste my time with this incoherent behavior of "save" in Gimp-2.8.
My job is the priority, so back to Gimp-2.6.
I have time to wait...... Perhaps we'll open a "wishlist" bug ? I don't
