A rather big conceptual change is that saving and exporting images
now are clearly separated activities. Saving an image can only be
- done in the XCF format. To export into other formats
- <i>File->Export...</i> needs to be used. There are some
- optimizations for alternative workflows such as opening a jpg,
- polishing it, and quickly exporting back to the original file. This
- conceptual change has also allowed us to get rid of the annoying
- dialogs that warned about the flatting of images when saving to
- non-layered formats. <b>Developer:</b> Martin Nordholts
