Hi there,
No matter what type of image I open and where is it located, the Save option is always disabled. This is kind of annoying, for example, when I have to rotate an image and just save it back. I have to use Save As, confirm the overwrite. Screenshot provided.
Thanks, Mircea.

1. That's just wrong, a rotated image is definitely a modified image. Even Photoshop works that way.
2. If it isn't seen as a change, why is it getting saved with Save As? It should save the original un-rotated image.
Something doesn't add up here.

It's just how it's designed, and the design is in part to avoid applying lossy rotation of JPEGs if all you're doing is rotating.
