Re: [Gimp-user] gimp users matter

[Wolfgang Hugemann <Wolfgang Hugemann de>]

I also find GIMP's save-as behaviour very strange, but I have understood 
that there is no use in longer discussion about that. For the future I 
have two suggestions:

1) Allow for more user preferences.
Why not leave the choice to me whether I would like to be warned when 
saving in a lossy format? The discussion has at least pointed out that 
workflows are a very personal matter. I have so far never saved any file 
in Gimp's native format.

2) Nowadays it is rather easy to organise a questionaire via the Internet.
The developers could thus find out about users' expectations and 
preferences more easily then in former times. Well, I guess this 
approach also has its shortcomings, but one could try. Didn't the Open 
Office developers proceed this way lately?
