A clear distinction between Save and Export was needed But even if conceptually different in practice , both operation are always needed for the every edited image: is needed to Save the original AND to export as jpg or png .
So why do not offer a chance to speed up the workflow, save time and patience achieving both result simultaneusly ? A image is worth 1.000 words ,to avoid misunderstunding i invite to give a look to this mock up http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2653/3981269891_998c2f513b_o.jpg As you may see the idea is not to replace the Export dialog, but to offer a handy option from the Save dialog, to simultaneously export , with same name and in the same directory in other file formats A possible objection is that "same name and some directory" is a severe limit but 1) For other cases there is well the proper Export Dialog 2) consider a real case if in 1 day i edit 50 photos, i need to go trought 150 Save and Export dialog (and as now to click away about 300 warning ) to save original,a looseness png or tiff copy, and a jpg of my work Using that option at the end of the work, in case i wish original, png and jpg in different folder i may get the result in 1 minute: Is trivial filter the folder content for file extension and batch move all xcf, png, and jpg in their own dedicated folder Even Picasa, or xnview and irfanview may do in a heartbeat...so would be not even needed to type a couple of commands in a terminal 1 minute Vs 100 additional dialogs PS i will appreciate a reply to this somehow connected technical question http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-developer/12001-Gimp-file-save-interactive.html : In case the above proposal will be rejected, and anyway in time-while i will really need a script doing something similar...script is ready but that problem spoils the result -- photoco...@gmail.com (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
