It doesn't allow you to save as JPEG. You need to export an image as a JPEG.

Cheers!

I think a lot of people do not use XCF and are used to saving transparency to PNG and GIF files.

I think it's customary for GIMP to warn when operations initiated by the user will be performed slightly different than the user might expect.
An example is when scaling indexed images. It then says: "Indexed color layers are always scaled without interpolation. The chosen interpolation type will affect channels and layer masks only."

Thanks.

Given the number of times I've seen people complaining about the loss of transparency, that would be a good idea.

What Gimp could have is either a counter of the number of times a warning has been issued (and stop issuing it after a while) or a "Don't tell me again" checkbox.

That sounds like a bad idea. People will rely on the warning to be there so they can cancel the export and do something appropriate. Suddenly stopping to show it will make them complain.

or a "Don't
tell me again" checkbox.

That's what I said.

So that people treat it like something annoying and disable it, then still run into the issue?

Personally, I'd rather see a combobox in JOEG exporting options to select background color, with these options: Black, White, Current Background Color, Cyrrent Foreground Color.

ok. I missed the earlier part of the thread. It read to me like someone was saying their version of GIMP is not able to create JPEG files.

Cheers!

Was going to recommend this myself. I agree with Alex's suggestion:

If we do this, there is no need for a warning.
