You misunderstood. I had several tabs in Gimp, each with an image. I thought I had exported every one (to .png). Gimp told me I hadn't saved any (to .xcf) and Gimp doesn't care about exporting. *I had no way to know if my images were all exported.*
- prokoudine 3y ago> I had no way to know if my images were all exported. You had a way of knowing that though. When GIMP lists all the unsaved images, it specifically says which images have been exported and to what files. It does so by appending "(exported)" to the filename (just like in the window's title when you are editing) and mentioning the exported file in the second line.
- doodlesdev 3y agoOh that makes more sense. Still, if GIMP had this kind of temp autosave you wouldn't have lost these files since you could've opened the .xcg of the relevant file and then export. Overall the best workflow with these applications is to always save the project file, in GIMP, Photoshop, or Affinity.
