I’m not sure, but that’s exciting if so
GIMP UI as is hasn’t changed much in 20 years.
And their invented forced onto you file system 🤢you can't open a jpg, change sonething and then you jhave to dance around the export, nit save when clising etc etc. Why devs, why?
Would be super cool if they got things up just a bit.
you can't do what ? I have trouble following you
They are complaining that Gimp only allows to save in reconstructable formats (e.g. xcf) even when you opened baked fileformats (in this case jpeg)
In Gimp you have to export to those file formats as you would lose layer and history data as they don't support that.
ah, yes, saving and exporting used to be conflated. That shouldn't be a problem, just hit export instead of save
Yeah and then when you close the image it says it hasn't been saved, which is both annoying and error prone.
Not a super big deal you'd say but when you resize lots of images it is, for example. Especially as it worked differently and one day they forced this bad UX choice.
