Your steps are pretty much the same as mine. The misunderstanding Iguess is that, after I export, the .jpg file disappears. Yes, the original image is there, with all it's layers and that is good, but at this point, I am finished with the .xcf file and I want to see the jpg. But it is gone, so I have to re-open it. i may tweak it for the agent or gallery, but I can't save it and send it to them, because as soon as I re- opened it, it became .xcf again. so I have to export again, and, again, it disappears, so I hve to open the jpg again, and of course it reverts to ..xcf again ... it's not the exporting that is causing the trouble-- that's easy enough to do. it's the fact that after I export to jpg, the jpg disappears and I have to keep re-opening it. Not good. Yes, the original file is still there, but my agent does not want that one.
