hi all,
with GEGL's ability to only render what is visible on the screen
(and ideally in that very resolution) we are comfortably spoilt
for choice by when to render a composition to full resolution.
While saving the user's work -- which amounts to the GEGL tree -- can
be done quite quickly

While in my regard this is headed in a totally wrong direction [1],
there's nothing wrong with having a plugin that works this way.
Somewhat suprisingly, i couldn't find such a plugin, so here's some
dirty PyGIMP which at first

a 'finalize image' command that optionally renders to full resolution.
This way, the save/render distinction won't show up until it is really
desired by the user.
I like finalize image.
