Hi Dave,
This has been default GIMP behavior for quite awhile. It tripped me up at first, too, but the underlying logic actually becomes readily apparent if you use the software a lot - which I definitely do.
Since GIMP's native file format is .xcf, and, since by default it stores the history of changes in that file - in effect, it retains a cumulative history of the editing sessions in that file - IMHO encouraging it's use makes a great of sense.
I don't want a cumulative history. If I want a history, I'll keep a record of the interesting states - as jpgs. So it makes no sense at all to me, sorry.
For casual editing of other image file formats, just select 'File > Overwrite ...' instead of 'File > Save.' Then just close the open .xcf file if you don't need it.
I don't want to overwrite. I just want it to remember whether the image has been saved to disk or not! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
