I'm all for "standards of function, design and behavior." Like for instance, when the GIMP saves a file, this file preserves the state of the project's work in progress; it is a project file, not an image file. And for instance, when creating a file formatted for end use by any of numerous applications, that's "exporting the project" as a finished product, e.g. an image file. A user has to do one [1] extra extra mouse click or keyboard shortcut to "discard" a project that has been exported without being saved. That's a reminder to save the work if it might be of any future use. As such it's a common and expected feature, seen across a range of software from word processors and desktop publishing packages to video editing suites. This feature imposes no hardship on any user and occasionally prevents lost work. I don't normally feed trolls. But this week I am doing an experiment in counter-trolling, in several contexts. This will probably be my last post in a troll threads on gimp-user this year. Sometimes, one must misbehave. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
