Ok, I'm trying, but this just doesn't make sense to me. You're saying I was never able to see my file after I "save as" to png or jpg, in prior versions of GIMP. I don't think anyone here is deliberately giving out bad information, but I just don't understand this. I still have GIMP 2.6 on a very old Think-Pad laptop running ubuntu. I can not only see the file after I "save as" but I can also edit it. Here is a screenshot. I opened gimp >create new > made one blend stroke, then Saved As jpg. I do see the file. Then I went to Edit -- and took a screenshot showing that I am able to edit that file. Not just see, but see it and edit it. I can't do this in gimp 2.8 because that ability has been removed. Click on the screenshot to enlarge it. http://helenofmarlowe.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/usinggimp/ You can see that it has been saved as a jpg and is still available. So, I'm sorry and I apologize for being tiresome, but I just don'tunderstand what you are saying.
