kerryland Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 This is an irritation that I hope is easy to fix. When I export an image the current project is marked as 'modified', so when I attempt to close the project I am confronted with a 'file has been modified' dialog. To reproduce: Open a TIF (not a JPEG) image file (File | Open) Export the image as JPEG (File | Export...) See that the TIF is now flagged as 'Modified' Close the image (File | Close), and see that I now have to save the 'changes' This gets irritating when I am working on many images. Thanks for listening! Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Confirmed here. Not sure why or how AP sees the TIF file as being modified, when the only action was to open, export to a different format. Makes no sense to me.

walt.farrell Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 This has been discussed before, and I'm sure there's another feature request for it. But to explain it: Look at the History panel. Exporting adds an entry to the History, and the presence of a history entry after the last Save means the document is considered modified.

kerryland Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 In that case I have to wonder why exporting from a JPEG does NOT add an entry to the History panel. (Not that I am advocating that it should :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is why the export information is handled differently when processed.

Perhaps this will motivate Serif to fix it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
