You are missing the point here, that now if a user opens and modifies a .jpeg picture, Save does not replace 
the original with the modified picture, but creates a modified picture in a different format, which is 
contrary to all software practice, except in some cases (like Audacity) where Save explicitely saves a 
"Project" and not the original file. (Note to self: suggest to Tsar Alexander he modifies menu entry from 
Save to Save Project)

And GIMP recognizes the difference, since it then complains that the picture has not been saved if you Export 
(to the original formai) then attempt to close the program.

Yes we do, but we also owe it to them to give some feedback on how we feel about the changes they make in the 
app.

This is a bit rich, coming from the country where we hear they are still whingeing about Decimalization and 
Metrication   ;-3)
