I cant remember since when, but in current git for 2.8, all imported images default to imported format before all other options. Current order in git is for format AFAIK: 1. last export of this image 2. imported extension 3. last export of any image 4. png Original 2.8.0 did not use imported extension at all and it was a nuisance when working with JPG-s. 2.8.2 had the order slightly different, 2 and 3 were switched. -- --Alexia ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list

Yes, It's also the default setting in linux, but the problem is that people seem to miss that using the extension will save the proper format and the think they have to choose the output format manually. That's why I propose to make that feature more obvious adding a better description. And this is kept between sessions, but the PNG extension is always used in the filename.

That statement was about file format, or so I understand. If I crop something and either save as XCF or export as PNG (or other lossless format versus the original), of course the cropping action itself is destructive, but the file format makes no difference *in this case*. Saving as XCF does not save also the original and an operation history, for example, so what is the point in saying that export is always destructive ? Or maybe there is really something I am unaware of ? Cristi Oh, I see. You're right, the cropping operation in this case is destructive, independent of the output format. A scaling operation, any filter to the image would be destructive too, and the XCF won't store the original data. However, as far as I know, this change (save/export) is one of the first steps towards non-destructive editing and in the future GIMP will store every action performed as a GEGL operation non-destructively. When that happens the images you open will be actually "imported" in the node tree, and from that point every operation won't be destructive, so storing the XCF (or whatever format GIMP uses at that point) will be the only non-destructive option, while the rest of the formats will be destructive. That's what I understood from Peter Sikking's blogposts and from comments in this list and in the IRC channel. Please let me know if this isn't correct.
