present xcf as what it is, a gimp project file format
As a software developer, I see parallels within Integrated Development
Environments. Gimp exporting to a lossly format is akin to building
software. Gimp saving is akin to saving the project and source files back
to disk. If my IDE ever let me save the compiled binary without updating
the project/makefile(s)/sources or a big warning that it was going to do
so, that would be bad.
So I see this the same situation applied to Gimp.
For people doing minor edits or simple rescaling (my use case), maybe it
makes things a little more complicated. For someone who has put a week of
work into a video game box cover, that would be terrible.
One idea would be similar to IDEs - the XCF is the source, and
JPEG/PNG/thumbnails are the output. The export button effectively becomes
'build' then and generates everything you've listed.
