Hi, I've just tried this with GIMP 2.2-pre2 from the Script-Fu console and you are right that the reference handling is somewhat confusing. Perhaps gimp_displays_reconnect() should hand the reference over to the display just as gimp_display_new() does. That would however mean that if you reconnected the display again your image would be gone since the last reference on it just got dropped. So I think the current behaviour is coorect but should perhaps be documented better. Your plug-in will have to call gimp_image_delete() on the new image in order to drop the reference it holds on it. Here's the example you gave: gint newImage = gimp_file_load (...); gimp_displays_reconnect (oldImage, newImage); gimp_image_delete (oldImage); That last line is wrong since you never owned a reference on that image and it is already gone at that point. It should read instead: gint newImage = gimp_file_load (...); gimp_displays_reconnect (oldImage, newImage); gimp_image_delete (newImage); Sven
