Warn before saving multiple layers as bitmap

Unread post by jeffbronks »

I've just wasted some time by accidentally saving a multi-layer Impict drawing as a flat bitmap. Do you think the program could warn before doing this? I originally created the drawing by right-clicking on a bitmap in HM5 and selecting "Edit with Impict". When you do this, Impict assumes that you want to save the file in the same format, even if you have added drawing objects on top of the bitmap. This seems like a dangerous assumption.

This is indeed an annoying problem that I have often encountered. Ideally Impict should ask whether to save the graphic as an *.IPP file immediately upon entering the program (after the right-click on the graphic in H&M)
