And that's the point, GETTING rid of the damn warnings! For me, every single time I edit/create a jpeg/png file, this just goes to slow things WAY down. One dialog for export/ignore/cancel + if this is the first save, an additional one to set the quality. The change fixes that by forcing me to be be explicit(ie, I want to export). Also, one slip of the finger in 2.6(Ignore instead of export) on that damned dialog box and low an behold all of my layer work is GONE, PERMANENTLY, FOREVER!!!! Now my nice workflow where I do lots of non destructive editing is for naught because I hit the wrong damn button. The goal here is to be damn sure that this type of silliness does not happen anymore by making you be explicit in your workflow. I know dozens of people who have lost tens or even hundreds of layers in a second by a mis-key and this change will totally prevent them from loosing work at the cost of some people having to adapt to change and spend and extra 2-4 seconds per image. Do you really think your few extra seconds are more important than possibly hours worth of work by people who use the features of GIMP that take it far beyond a simple photo editor? BTW, I am high functioning autism, so I do not adapt to change well myself, but IMHO, this is a good change mainly because I have been burned by this exact problem before. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
