Comment "... Two Steps Back" (Score 5, Interesting) 401

Are they still committed to breaking one of Gimp's best features: "Intelligent Save" ? (Inferring file type based on extension)

Splitting "File > Export" and "File > Save" is counter-intuitive; it's not DWIMish, and I guarantee more people will be frustrated that the Save dialog box is "broken" when they try to save a JPG and end up with an XCF file instead. "File > Export" reeks of being Designed By Developers, rather than actually taking user behavior into account.

(And stealing the keystroke for "Fit In Window" is just adding insult to injury...)

Interesting...

So the way I read this is: if you sample just a teeny bit of a song (the hook from "It Takes Two", e.g.) you're infringing -- or you have to pay out the wazoo to get the sample cleared -- but if you include enough of the material to claim "Commentary", then [they'd argue] you're clear.

VERY interesting...
