Yeah, GIMP's noisiness is kinda annoying here. IMO "that Adobe product" 
did this the right way; there is an option in the 'Save As...' dialog to 
save *any* format flattened. When you select a format that doesn't 
support layers, the check box goes checked-and-disabled, so you have a 
visual but unobtrusive indicator. Maybe Krita could do something 
similar, or possibly you could display a message in the status bar after 
saving that the image was saved flattened.

Does saving flattened count as having saved against the 'modified' flag? 
In PS it doesn't, and I forget what GIMP does in this case.
