Hi
I use Enlightenment everyday, I try to help developers if I can, 
modestly....
Minority ? Thousands of posts on this list about the problem save export 
Gimp-2.8, it does not matter of course .... The developers seem to live 
in a sealed box, ignoring the image editing  reality,  ignoring the fact 
that the new "save export" breaks the rhythm of work.....
