GIMP before version 2.8: yell at users that layers will be lost when saving to JPG/PNG/TIFF etc. Actual result: people lost data.
GIMP since version 2.8: only allow exporting to JPG/PNG/TIFF etc., warn if data wasn't saved. Actual results: only a few cases of lost data.

- Crinus 7y agoUnless you have observed all users then you are pulling the "people lost data" out of thin air. Here is something that actually happens since version 2.8: if you do not treat XCF files as the master image file format, GIMP complains all the time.
- prokoudine 7y agoOh yeah, I've been pulling that "out of thin air" for, ugh, 7 years now. That's 7 years of actual user support, every day. I'd like to see you prove me wrong.
