Saves Earlier Version of JPG Not Current Version - JCal - 04-27-2018
I've been having a persistent problem for an hour now -- I edited an image, yet when I save it, an earlier version of the image gets saved. It saves the correct version as an xcf file, as a png file but just refuses to save the correct version as a jpg. I tried changing the name, the location where I am saving, closing and reloading Gimp, closing and reopening the photo folder ... nothing works. I need to upload as a jpg, unfortunately.
Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

Not a problem I have heard of before. I don't have any definite suggestions.
Some things to check:
Are you exporting to one location and opening from another?
Any errors? (OS permissions, etc).

When the "earlier" JPG version is saved, if the file time stamp changed?

What a clever user name for a Gimper!
No errors of any kind. All the other files have gone through fine, although I had a hint of this same issue yesterday, for the first time ever.
I tried every permutation of exporting and opening I could think of. Nothing makes any difference
... I am preparing product images for a juried craft show. I may just end up not using this image; I have to whittle my selection down to five from seven anyway.Thanks for your help: appreciated!

Blighty was the name of my Grandfather's farm. But it already had that name when he bought it.
There is family oral history of the meaning of the word, this differs slightly from the meanings found on google.

No, not that at all.
The British army was in India. Blighty was a corruption of a word in one of the Indian languages meaning "home". But in the British army the usage changed to mean a wound serious enough to be sent back home to Britain. As in "You're going blighty".

I lived in England for years and am a WWII buff as well. A "blighty" was used among British troops as a term for a wound serious enough to send you home, out of the war. So: Gimpy/Blighty

Yes, each time. It was the weirdest thing. Since I had to submit the show application yesterday, I managed a workaround. Rather than working from the xcf file, I opened the jpg itself and corrected that. And that version saved.
If I have any other glitches along these lines, I will return to post to this thread.
Otherwise, glad I had the problem so that I could find this community! I *always* have Gimp questions, and the Gimp site / help is often over my head.
Thanks, all!
