What Gimp do you all have? I use it all the time and SAVE as "png" and "jpg" without issues.
I'm running 2.8.2 and the 'save' vs 'export' navigation is definitely a change that takes some getting used to. I think this is primarily because old habits die hard. Being a very long time GIMP user, for many weeks after upgrading, I had to backtrack and 'export' every single time because I'd habitually ... meaning without thinking about it ... tried to 'save' ... *and* I found it annoying, sometimes infuriating, until I broke the old habit. Now I habitually 'export' to save in a non-native GIMP format and I 'overwrite' to update non-native files that I've opened in GIMP and changed. So I no longer think about it. OTOH, I can recall several instances in the past where I mistakenly 'saved' some work that started out in a non-native GIMP format and then quickly, without thinking about it, closed the file -- only to realize moments later that I'd just thrown away important layers or the entire history of edits. This last scenario is the worst of all (if you don't habitually make 'drafting/working' copies, first.) At least the new paradigm seems to do a good job of preventing this type of error. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
