Current versions of GIMP 2.8 also note if the file has been recently exported (with no further changes made to the image), however I do agree that if the user has to deal with this confirmation message all the time then GIMP is essentially "crying wolf" to their workflow and this runs a real risk of dismissing things out of habit and losing work as a result. On a tangent, when GIMP prompts to save changes I would rather it not remind me how long it's been since the last (bonafide) Save command. If I'm currently multitasking, I may open a file and make a few quick edits, then be working on other applications for the next hour-plus. When I come back, GIMP prompts to save. That's good and all, but the way GIMP phrases it is annoying because I haven't actually spent the "last hour" doing work on it. I'M the one who knows how much work I might be losing by closing it without a proper Save and in this case it's only a minute or two tops. All GIMP has to do is remind me that unsaved changes exist at all, not make guesses of when or how much. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
