I "work with the tool" from its version numbered 2.4. And I use it primarily as a photo processing tool. I can say that the save/export feature is a very logical one from my point of view as I can be sure that I have ALL THE INFORMATION in the SAVED image as long as I can have only PARTIAL INFORMATION in the EXPORTED image. Have you ever got to redo some hours work when you think that you saved the image but in fact you really exported it only? The features that I really miss are the high-bit color depths and better CMYK and Lab colorspaces support. And I beleive we won't get them faster if we mess the developers in teapot tempests instead of giving them our appreciation.
P.S. If you really prefer accidentaly loosing your information you can surely redefine hot keys. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
