I scan images using gimp and xsane. If I scan a dozen images, I have to keep track of what I save to PNG or JPG, because GIMP insists that none are saved and that I'm going to lose my data. It wants me to save as XCF and I will not.
Any chance of changing this behavior? It is disruptive. :-/
The XCF format contains all the layers, masks, and pathing info among many other things. It's the default file format for a good reason... but it's only helpful if you're really using the full capabilities of Gimp.
You can export to just about any other format under the sun using File > Export.
The Gimp devs aren't going to change this XFC setting. They made a choice and are sticking with it.
There is a "fork" of Gimp with the Save function set back to save as JPG, PNG etc. No guarantees on stability etc.especially since most commits seem to be from 1 to 4 years ago. https://github.com/mskala/noxcf-gimp I wouldn't recommend it...
Using File > Export isn't too difficult, but as you say, you do have to remember if you've saved it or not.
I can use "File > Save as" to save a file in different image formats (jpeg, tiff, png etc). I can select image type from the pulldown list or just appending the type suffix. This is GIMP 2.6.8. Do I understand correctly that this behavior has been changed and the "save as" option is removed?
