Hi, > Secondly, I'm confused by the function gimp-file-save. Specifically why do > I need to pass an image and a drawable? If I load an image, do some image > level manipulations on it, and then want to save it with gimp-image-save, > do I need to create a layer? most save plug-ins can not handle multiple layers and will therefore only save the drawable you pass them and silently ignore the rest of the image (and the image_ID). Other plug-ins (gif for example) do something useful with all layers (creating an animation in this example) and ignore the drawable_ID. Salut, Sven
