Why is then opening a JPEG not an Import?
I get it, and when Photoshop changed this default, GIMP followed with changing this workflow. It used to be different in older versions of Photoshop and Gimp.
Advanced user usually know exactly what they're doing, and opening a PNG or JPEG file, changing a few pixels, and saving it, should require as few key presses as possible.
I don't want the UI to get in my way when I open->edit->save.
- hxorr 7mo agoWhen opening a jpg, it literally says "importing pic.jpg" when opening a jpg
- purerandomness 7mo agoExactly. That's my point. When saving, it simply should say "Exporting pic.jpg".
- jbrnh 7mo ago'Opening a JPEG' is creating a new image and importing the JPEG to it. ctrl-e on first use will establish the export setting. It's two clicks if you really want to overwrite the original. I think it would be very easy to accidentally and destructively overwrite the original image file if it was different, when ctrl-e is in muscle memory.
