Re: [Gimp-user] export vs save

[Kasim Ahmic <kasim ahmic gmail com>]

I hate to be "that guy" but this will most likely never change. I don't want to say I hate that feature but 
it did cause quite the inconvenience for me when it first came out. Over time, I got used to it and now, it's 
second nature for me to click Export instead of Save when I need to export an image to PNG/TIFF/JPG/GIF 
rather than save it to an XCF. It makes sense when you think about it.
