Now install the plugin and STFU. You're welcome.

I use GIMP infrequently and this change bites me each time. If I used it more frequently, I'm sure I'd quickly adapt to to. It's just enough pain that I remark to myself "you know, I'm not really doing anything fancy that needs GIMP, I'll just go do this with command line tools." And that makes one fewer person who cares about the future of GIMP. Which in the 'mindshare is important to survival' world of OSS, is considered 'doing it wrong.'
On a positive note, please, oh, please, support higher bit depths. Cinepaint is nice, but the full GIMP tools suite would be much nicer. This is the other thing that bites me when I use GIMP. I usually have some 16 bit grayscale or 48 bit color scans to manipulate and the first thing GIMP says to me is "Sorry, I don't know what to do with those lower 8 bits, so I'm just going to dump them on the floor, I hope you don't mind." Then I can't even save the edits I make....

You have a extra option in the file menu of quickly reexporting to the latest JPG or whichever format you used, but Ctrl+s is still mapped to the original save function, which saves, as said, in the internal format.
For me, when I quickly edit a lot of files, it's a pain now to work with.

if you want to make quick edits to non gimp files, then use ctrl+E. beware that if you are doing this with a format like jpeg then you will loose quality on each edit.

GIMP Looks Towards GEGL, High Bit Depths, GTK3
Phoronix: GIMP Looks Towards GEGL, High Bit Depths, GTK3
Back in May was the long-awaited release of GIMP 2.8, and while this release was great and packed in many new features, there's still more to look forward to in the future of this open-source imaging program...
