No, saving with the compression does not prevent the corruption.
I still don't understand why Gimp updated to 2.10.16. It is obviously not ready. I understand that software is not perfect, and sometimes there needs to be fixes. But why in the world did this thing update!?
I mean should I just stop everything I am doing? Am I going to automatically get a fix without updating again? This is mind-blowing, and a good reason why almost nobody uses Gimp for any serious production work. I mean, who can I complain to? It is free. Better off not using it and becoming dependent on it.
I mean this should never happen: an update that went on without me knowing and it broke the software? How is this any different from some commercial project that automatically updates? Well, I will tell you the difference: I can call somebody and complain.
Actually, Blender does a much better job: just put an binary executable in a download, sort of like a appimage. Actually, Blender doesn't even do that. It is so much better of a system than this.
So anyone that maybe can update to 2.10.16, DON'T DO IT! Figure a way to keep it from updating. It is not ready and will corrupt your files!
