(step 2) save it and close GIMP under 10 clicks.

File -> Overwrite (2 clicks)

File -> Quit (2 clicks)

Yes I want to quit, even though I haven't saved it as an .xpf file (1 click)

Total: 5 clicks

It's more like File-> export->select PNG->save->select your file(that you just opened and modified)->save->yes I want to overwrite it THEN close the image in Gimp->no I don't want to save image.xpf.

Instead of a CTRL+S

I mean sometimes you'd probably missclick too...

File > overwrite

Bind it to Ctrl+s if you want.

It only saves as an xcf project if you choose save instead of overwrite.

the fuck do you mean "it's more like" i just reproduced those 5 steps using my copy of gimp

Not saving a project file, but the image file you just opened. Learn to read, sheesh.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, that is what those steps do

like you are aware that overwriting the file you opened, as opposed to saving a project file, is what I just told you how to do in 5 clicks?

That's already insane IMO. But yes okay not the hyperbole of 10 clicks, "only 5", I'll give you that 😊.

Cheers
