Save/Export Patch

[James Hughes-105]

Hello,

Can someone advice me the best place to start in making a patch to the UI to
revert the 2.7 version to using the 2.6 style save dialogue. If someone would
kindly point me in the right direction of which files I need to change would
really appreciate it.

Thanks
James

Sticking a fork into GIMP was never successful. Most everybody who
tried didn't get as far as picking a knife with the other hand.

10pts for good humor.

To the fork operator, in all seriousness tho, look at git. Relevant
commits are clearly marked. However, the remark above is 100% true.
Just stick to 2.6 if you like that so much.

Hi James,

The first work regarding save+export was merged to git master in
commit cd8829b91b3a. Type

  gitk cd8829b91b3a

in your GIMP git repo and you'll see the initial commits. After that,
development has happened incrementally directly in git master so you'll
need to manually browse the commits and identify the relevant ones.

HTH,
Martin

If you can bear it, I'd say wait a little longer - the design is still
evolving, and I think it's improving.

Also, you can of course say what about the new design is making things
harder for you, and maybe that will help.  For me the hardest thing
left is that GIMP doesn't remember the "right" directory to export
images, and that's already being fixed, or at least the design is
in place now.
