A frequent situation: I load a *.jpg images and applied some changes.
Then I press the good old standard key combination <Ctrl> + S to save it into the original *.jpg file.
As I noticed I can save such images only into *.xcf format.
If I want to save it into *.jpg or *.png format I have to export it with an annoying intermediate dialog
with some additional required mouse clicks.
Is there no way to swap the meanings?
Ctrl+S IS the standard to save something into original file.
And export to save it to something different.
Having to remember the different meaning in Gimp interrupts my workflow and is user unfriendly.
