Here you go http://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.9/
It's a development release so it was in the Development snapshots section.

#5Great, lots of new features. But the crucial thing for me is still marked "wontfix": allow saving to external formats directly.
I often open some png or jpeg, edit it and want to save it. But no, I have to export it, confirm that I want to overwrite the file I am editing, and then confirm that I don't want to save to .xcf before closing file or Gimp. Infuriating. It makes me want to fork it just fix this nonsense, but I doubt anyone would want to go into trouble to install my fork. If gimp team don't want to change default behaviour they could at least add a setting to .gimprc: insane_export_behaviour=off. I know I would use it.

I'm using 2.8.10, and this behavior seems fixed. If you open a JPEG or PNG, there's now a menu option in File called "Overwrite file.jpg". If you do an export, this menu option is replaced with "Export to file.jpg" that repeats your last export without a dialog box. The shortcut is Ctrl+E.

This used to be the default, in some older GIMP versions. There are good reasons for the change, but I agree with you - I should be able to doubleclick a png, edit it, save and quit. A config option would be just fine.

The Overwrite option has been in there a long time and is essentially just an alias for the Export funtionality. Although it does help alleviate the situation, I totally agree with what Drdrdrq is saying - just make Ctrl-S work properly!

As a user of GIMP for what must be about 13 years (?) - this is the most retrograde change I can recall. I understand it philosophically, but it definitely feels like holding purity of a metaphor above established usability norms.
