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

hi all, as this issue stays intricate, a brainstormish thought: clearly, Save must result in an XCF getting written somewhere (unless the operation gets cancelled). This doesn't rule out that e.g. a JPG gets exported in the process. So in the last resort we could abstract away the export/save
