I have not seen the new "save" function yet - I use the GIMP for daily production work and I find it advantageous to stay a little bit behind the curve on new versions: Let any stray bugs get squashed, let the community plugins catch up somewhat, and let new howto docs start to show up before switching over. Even so, count my vote in favor of the new feature. I do not "need" control-s to automatically save as XCF, but it happens to be consistent with the way I nearly always work with images: Build it in the editor's native format, export the finished product in the scale/format/etc. as required for publication. Vector editors, sound editors, video editors, desktop publishing packages, and even word processing programs (export to PDF for distribution) work this way. If the new feature makes new users "think about" file formats and electronic document control early in their learning curve, so much the better. Their work will be more reliable and their file management skills will be better for it. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
