There's only one "problem" with the current model: I, for one, would love an option to suppress the unsaved changes prompt in the event that I'm working on a simple image file that is exported to a standard file format and has no XCF associated with it. Such as when I'm downscaling digital photos for uploading to the Internet.

BUT, you are using a tool which is not build nor intended for that audience, so you adjust or use a different tool.

Do you really think arrogance and sarcasm helps deescalating the problem?

No, and that's why I'm kindly asking you to refrain from emails like this one in your further contributions to GIMP's mailing lists. Thank you.

You seem to be very Gnome-ish in your development: "We have commit rights, so piss off!"

I don't think that my personal opinion on the matter is any important, but if you actually want to know what I think, may I suggest that you spare ~1K of subscribers their precious time and contact me off-list?

For the record, I'm not going to wear a mask of grave seriousness in a public mailing list. This is not a corporation. It's a free software project. I hope you can deal with that.

I think the fact that certain ancient troll threads on gimp-user have not been terminated by setting filter rules speaks volumes about how tolerant and idealistic the list maintainers are.

Workflow preferences aside, the tool in question nonetheless does a good job with what I'm trying to use it for, which saves me from having to go find another tool for the same job.

(Tangent: I have a [literal] swiss army knife and what's the function I use most from it? The scissors.)

Did you try ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick for that? It's a way faster and richer in opportunities. And there's no save/export problem. Why live with a problem that is so easy to eliminate? Completely eliminate. Do you eat spaghetti with a spoon?

Because considering how often I actually encounter it isn't really a big deal? And I do need GIMP for other tasks. And I'm not in the mood for spaghetti right now....

Sorry then. By the way, ImageMagick is a very capable software for image resizing. More capable then GIMP I beleive. It has 16 bit color depth by default (and can do even floating point) and a number of high quality computation algoritms for resampling images to choose from. Sometimes it's faster to type some command line, than finding the way through the GUI. And I do use GIMP either.
