Agreed, I think the three of us can agree that it is best to Save, Save As, and Save a Copy (everything with the word Save), then Export with everything else, bitmap and vector.
I complicated this with the menu changes, and I don't think there was mention of that in my original proposal; I tacked it on with the email here. This really is more for an Export Pane which integrates many formats into a single Pane... I had a graphic of that in the document I linked to in the original post, just in case not everyone has seen it to get a good idea of what the main proposal is here.

This is what Save As does, since you can save in a wide variety of vector formats. Data is lost in saving to these formats.
Er... But I _was_ talking about Save As. What is the point of repeating my argument as if I said the opposite thing?

I think our Save As really should be limited to SVG or at least to lossless formats, if your going to change what document the open window is representing it should never be to something that is lossy. Having things like gimp palette in there is ridiculous, as your doc then thinks thats what it is. And Save a Copy is very useful as is, how else do you do incremental backups whilst staying working on the master file? just my 2p
