File->Save made sense to people too. But if GIMP is an XCF editor that can only save xcf files, being able to open non-xcf files is an obvious bug, a hole in the metaphor. It should only open xcf files. Non-GIMP files are "imported" to emphasize the data loss and that they are not primary. > As for File->Import, I don't understand why it would ever replace > anything - much less why the clean/dirty flag would be the toggle. > Maybe I'm missing something. Or I wasn't clear, I think. It's not really clean vs. dirty, but whether the canvas is new and unused and empty. E.g. try this in a word processor: open the program and you get a blank canvas into which you can type right away; open a file and it replaces that blank canvas. This is actually a separate issue from open/import really.
