And that proves your point exactly how? :) >> Wrong. Ardour is built around the concept of sessions.

You never actually used Ardour, did you? You just opened it for the first time in your life and didn't go beyond the File menu. That explains a lot. First of all, a session in Ardour equals to XCF in GIMP. So when you say that you can "save" and "save as" a session in Ardour, you are basically supporting my point that Ardour behaves like GIMP 2.8, with save and export decoupled. Secondly, "save as" in Ardour is a very special thing that works unlike anything out there. It doesn't "save as" like other apps, into a new file that you specify. Instead it's kinda more like saving a snapshot. >> The same goes for pretty much every nonlinear video editor: you don't >> open and save stuff back, you export it.

You've just proved that you didn't :) Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
