All I want is to have that changed file on my disk. I don't mind if it's saved or exported. Why make things complicated for this kind of users? Next: It's not clear what will happen to my "foo.png" file after I choose "Save" image as 'Untitled.xcf'. Will my "foo.png" be changed as well? Will my "foo.png" disappear because it's now "safe" as 'Untitled.xcf' and I don't need it any longer? Maybe it'd be better to completely rearrange that dialog to something like: "If you close the image, changes from last minute will be lost. You can either save image as 'Untilted.xcf' or export it to any other format" "CLOSE" "CANCEL" "SAVE" "EXPORT" Best Regards Michal (mmiicc) -- Michal Predotka (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
