A sad case of regression ?

As a potential new user to The Gimp, I've found the lack of a conventional save command to be TERRIBLE.

I'm absolutely astonished that anyone that uses software would think this could be a sensible move, it's crazy, I don't know any other program that works in such a non-standard way.

There's been some good work done to improve this program in the recent past, but if the developers want The Gimp to be taken seriously they need to address such silliness as this URGENTLY.

You're wrong!

The problem is NOT a lack of conventional Save command, rather a lack of conventional Import command!

The program "opens" non-native files! That should not happen! It should import them so you are fully aware that you need to export to a non-native format.

You've never heard of Adobe Premiere, Kdenlive, Apple Final Cut, Apple Logic, Audacity, Cubase, Ardour, Blender? That's OK. Now you have :)

The answer is still no, no matter how many CAPS you use.
