But it does not modify the image I am working on, it converts the image into a save result that I never see in gimp. Neither will I expect it to alter my image If I initiate my action with export. > If you knew about the limitations of the file format you are saving to, > then you had converted the image beforehand and you wouldn't see the > Export dialog at all. Why would I convert it beforehand? Why would a user need to do a bunch of actions that serve no purpose, are mostly 100% automatic and even hinder when I want to follow the export action up with a native save? --Alexia
