  Having been away I've just been reading this thread, and would like to 
add my wish to those others who are unhappy at the sudden change in the 
Save dialogue.
   In my case, I am  not "repeatedly saving/exporting' to JPG", but only 
once per image (to write annotation), and I would guess that applies to 
many other users of Gimp - though possibly a minority.  
   Having thus introduced myself to the wonderful Gimp, I am tempted to 
go on to make use of more powerful functions.

Is there really no room for a simple compromise that would satisfy both 
the more professional and the more casual users?
