Hi
May be but you have already the choice with "window-single mode" or not. 
Then you open edit -> preferences  and here, incredible thing, you can 
discover about thousand settings ! I joke, you know that.
 "The same tutorials work everywhere", yes. I can imagine a future 
preferences box (Gimp-3.0 ?)  with new settings:
Image saving -> standard mode
Image saving -> .xcf mode
