[Gimp-user] DON'T HATE the new save vs. export behavior

[ang3la <forums gimpusers com>]

I LOVE the export feature!
I make a LOT of price tags in GIMP. It is WONDERFUL to export the file and not have to re-open the .XCF file 
over and over. It saves a lot of repeat processes.

I also love the new tab interface for open GIMP files!
