open command

    Hi
    I am a relatively new user to GIMP. I just wanted to make a small
      suggestion for improving documentation.
    Currently, the manual says:
    
      
The Open…
        command activates a dialog that lets you load an existing image
        from your hard-drive or an external medium. For alternative, and
        sometimes more convenient, ways of opening files, see the
        following commands (Section 2.5, “Open as Layers…”
        etc.). 
      

    I would also like to suggest adding the following:
    The Open command can also open an existing GIMP project or a file
      saved in .xcf format.
    GIMP Image files are normally saved with the .xcf file extension,
      which stands for eXperimental Computing Facility.
    Several other image editors/viewers can also work with .xcf
      files.
    You may also use the Open Image as layers command to open a GIMP
      Image file.
    

    I hope that helps
    Jeff Williamson
