[Gimp-user] gimp 2.8 export, after save as keeps old files name

[realbezo <forums gimpusers com>]

Hello, may be because of my english i cannot explain myself clearly ( it is not my main language)
For example i create a new file "first_file.xcf" and then i make some changes, save it and export it with 
ctrl+e  as "first_file.png", then i make some more changes and save my file as "second_file.xcf" and export 
it with ctrl+e, but Gimp 2.8 does not export my file with the new filename "second_file.png", instead of 
using new file name it uses  the name "first_file.png" and overwrites my file that i exported earlier.
Thanks in advance...
