[Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior

[vitalif <forums gimpusers com>]

Everyone just rebuild gimp with my patch
http://svn.yourcmc.ru/viewvc.py/vitalif/trunk/scripts/patch-gimp-unite-save_export.diff?view=co
and be happy

> The first part -- prompting you for the export settings -- is actually

> export options doing precisely this, if it was set wrong then Win32
> APIs refused to read the file) .  At least some export types (e.g.
> JPG) allow you to save and load export settings....
