Okay this is interesting. If I start Gimp 2.8 and then open or import an image to work on, it'll let me save to xcf or export no problem.
But if Gimp is invoked by right clicking on the image, that's when I can immediately save. So at least I have a workaround -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269275 Title: GIMP 2.8 file save prevented regardless of permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1269275/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
