bondo Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 When opening a file and performing an export and no other operation. The export is logged as a change in the history to the original. This is not what the export function does. It uses the original as a source to create a new file in a different or same format but different name. This should not be taken as a change to the original. Since AP logs this as a change to close the original requires an extra step to save the change that didn't happen or exit without saving the non-existent change. RichardMH 1 Quote
walt.farrell Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. The original is changed when you export. The application saves the export options you used, so that you can reuse them easily if you need to export the file again. If the application let you Save, then Export, and then Close-without-saving, those options would be lost and you'd have to figure them out again later to make another export. However, you're not the first person to complain about that behavior.

bondo Posted September 26, 2021 Author Posted September 26, 2021 I very rarely make the same export twice. There is no method of to save the EXPORT parameters later for use with other images that I have found. There is not CLI or bulk method to perform the same export to multiple files. Quote
Old Bruce Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 You can make a preset and reuse it when you need to do the same export again. The export persona is useful for this and they (the presets) will appear in the File > Export.... dialog.
