No need, like I said, I only recently checked in the change -- days ago in fact, after 1.1.19 was released. Just wait for 1.1.20, or get the current CVS Gimp, or if you really need INDEXED+A PNG right away, contact me and I can mail it to you. > Sorry, I didn't mean to whine (I was determined to fix it myself but all > sorts of things cropped up).

Doh, I was thinking from the POV of the Gimp loader (it's always loaded as RGB regardless of how it was saved), not from the POV of the Save plug-ins. > "saves files in the xpm file format (if you're on a 16 bit display...)", > However, a cursory glance revealed nothing supporting this warning.

Some Gimp plug-ins are derived from various unrelated sources, like the netpbm filters, scraggy bits of code hanging around in CS dumpsters and the like. This probably puts them on shaky legal ground and definitely means they have some weird comments in. XPM could well be one of them. Nick.
