From the start of GIMP 2.8 there are
rumors about Save vs. Export.
It is a change with the past, but that
has happened more times by changing versions.
The first version of the GIMP that i
started (i believe 1.2) came up with a single toolbox and
nothing
more.
And i survived all the changes that came after that.
To make the changes more visible for
the users is it possible to add to the various Save options
in the File Menu that this will happen
in XCF format?
For overwriting the original file there
is already the option Overwrite …...
For saving with another name the export
option can be used.
I hope that this suggestion stops the
endless discussion about this change.
