Perhaps some of the file plug-ins are buggy. I get the complaint: ERROR: Procedural database execution failed on invalid input arguments: (gimp_file_save 1 0 4 "zoop.xpm" "zoop.xpm") and nothing was saved. (Running in interactive mode works.) TGA and XCF works. PNG tells me "can't save image with alpha". Weird.
