I save my edited photos in xcf (or xcf.bz2) and I have a script that
converts them automatically to all formats I often use (jpegs in some
sizes (converting to sRGB on the fly), tiff in the original size). It
just scans all xcf files and checks if all converted files exist and are
newer than the xcf file. To me, it's the most user-friedly approach.

Currently, the script is quite a mess tuned to my preferences, but it's
maybe a good idea to make it somewhat more generic and add a
configuration wizard to it. If I have some time and manage to write
something useful, I'll post a link...
