Either way, as I understand it, if you open (rather than import) a PNG file, draw on top of it or modify it, and hit "Save" it will save via Cairo and not our export method.
Instead it must simply refuse to save as PNG, offering a Save As dialog to save as SVG.
Are you in any way against GIMP's new behavior for 2.7/8? Basically, Save/Save As would only offer SVG options (probably only Inkscape SVG variants) and everything else must be performed via an Export operation since there is editing data losss (not like our current one, but basically a different type of "Save As" dialog which would then chain into the png, pdf, eps, jpg, tif, etc special dialogs when those exist).
I guess, do we append a correct the file extension to .svg with a warning or refuse to save with the reason given within a pop-up dialog?
For the record, I haven't tried to defy GIMP with their new handling, so I'm unsure of what they do atm (I assume it is appending a workable extension to the file). I will report back results if no one states ideas for what they think the proper handling would be otherwise.
