It just shows that scribus menus respect the "standard" : easy to use 
and not complicated and confused like in Gimp. Unlike scribus, you can 
edit all kinds of picture files with Gimp. No reason to create special 
dialog boxes to work with a particular file type (.xcf), except for 
beginners or people stunned... It slows down work for the others. I know 
I am repeating myself.....

you can "save as" under an other name, it's very important

I dont want to prove anything. People can test themselves softwares I 
mentionned above and compare, *mainly* with other image editors like 
Krita, Showfoto or Libreoffice Draw....
