Hello, may be because of my english i cannot explain myself clearly ( it is not my main language) For example i create a new file "first_file.xcf" and then i make some changes, save it and export it with ctrl+e as "first_file.png", then i make some more changes and save my file as "second_file.xcf" and export it with ctrl+e, but Gimp 2.8 does not export my file with the new filename "second_file.png", instead of using new file name it uses the name "first_file.png" and overwrites my file that i exported earlier. Thanks in advance...
