Possibly, the more clicking needed to achieve a task does put more strain on your hands which can cause pain. I believe this is why for example VI key bindings are designed to reduce the distance your hands must extend for most common tasks. Reading extra text, XML or JSON can also cause additional eye strain... I think that is why it's okay to describe UX in terms of less or more pain...
- AlecSchueler 10y agoIt's the same amount of clicking, just that 'save' and 'export' do different things.
- imurray 10y agoNo it's not the same amount of clicking. From Gimp 2.7 to 2.8 something that used to be ctrl-s and close window went to ctrl-shift-e, and answering four dialog boxes before getting the image saved and the window closed. Around the time Gimp 2.8 came out, I wanted to edit and save around 50 images (in away that wasn't easy to automate). That (without the plugin that gives the old behavior) would be 200 dialog boxes to deal with that I didn't have to before. No it wasn't literally painful. But frustrating. Nearly as frustrating as people not accepting that people legitimately use software in different ways.
- ebiester 10y agoI wonder if a voice-annotated youtube capture of the process might help capture the pain of the process.
- gkya 10y agoIIRC Ctrl shift e is export as, and ctrl e exports with no questions.
- babuskov 10y agoCtrl-E is not available on newly opened .png files. You need to save at least once for it to work. (At least on Mac version of Gimp).
