Re: [Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior

[Kim Cascone <kim anechoicmedia com>]

I too have been following this thread since it's inception (not as 
empirically as Ms Peck though) and see the same exact complaints come up 
time and again

I find it oddly unsettling how the developers have consistently turned a 
deaf ear to this important issue by not making it possible in the 
settings to allow GIMP users to select the old way of "saving as" and 
exporting content instead of being forced into one way of doing 
things...which leads me to wonder if there might be a hidden agenda of 
some sort?

also a question for Akkana:
do you still have that script available that simulates the old style of 
save as and export?
