Would you like to see or even participate in GFX contests hosted by gimpusers.com?

Yes, but prices for winners are important!

Yes, GFX contests are a good idea! It brings community together even if there are no prices available

No, contests are not important

Maybe, it is however not a tragedy if there are no contests. I don't care much.

What do you think about the separation of the save as / export feature in GIMP 2.8?

  2. → Doesn't make a difference for me as I only do smaller image corrections – 4 vote(s) ≈ 5 %
  3. → I don't care – 9 vote(s) ≈ 12 %
  4. → The old way is much better – 14 vote(s) ≈ 18 %

    Love it. It makes the whole edit/export workflow much more satisfiable, and also just seems to make more sense.

    As long as every website and web browser ever will be updated to accept and handle .xcf files, sure, I don't really mind. If I suspect will not be the case, making tiny changes to images will be slightly more painful. *sigh*

    What about opening other file types?

    If I want to open a JPEG file, do I have to use Import instead of Open?

    If I'm already editing a JPEG file and want to save the changes, do I have to go to Export? Or since we already know it's a jpeg, then I can do Save?

    Anybody knows?

    Anyway, I hope they asked themselves these questions..

    Roflo: You can just open it (no use of "import"). Currently you have a the ability to "fast export" the jpg file into the same file format using the same preferences as before. (this is the option in the file menu before "export to..." (see screenshot).

    It is very cool as it is right now and its a faster workflow then before!

    This new behaviour is much better.
    (There is no import, you open everything with open.)

    (Much less "why won't it open?/what's this xcf thing(s)?/How do I save in ...?/...?" whining from non computer savvy users and less file format mistakes from creators.)

    The developers have not screwed up on the export behaviour for simple tasks,
    kudos to them. It's really worked out very good, in a professional way.

    Thus, before commenting people, look at the picture. If you want to: read how it works out very good in this scenarios and be relieved (I's not illegal to read the notes for yourself or/and being relieved)

    Ok
    ctrl+e ......... works a treat after

    the initial export
    ctrl+shift+e ...

    Keep up the good work .....

    ( Where do I post the errors that I am getting ... with script files not working or should I try to put them right and re-post them somewhere )

    or do you already have people working on this ...

    Just would love to try to help out in some small way.

    hi again! have a look at the open bugs - if there is nothing similar open another bug and write the steps to reproduce the error!

    Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP

    thank you

    Audacity uses that same feature for it's sound files. Drives me nuts. I'd much prefer a combined option.

    Ok
    ctrl+e ......... works a treat after

    the initial export
    ctrl+shift+e ...


    But its still not good for me doing multiple edits and wanting to save as jpg ...... I post on forums trying to show how good Gimp is and that it can do everything that photoshop can do ....
    If I use this latest save routine .... I lose the edge because I get annoyed with it ....
    I cannot work very well when annoyed .....
    Your poll is even saying 1 in 6 users do not like the new method .... 15 % at the moment ....
    Cannot a check box be added in the save option for jpg's .... so at least we have the choice ..... of how we the user would like to save our files ....
