This does the trick of creating the file to go to PNG:
pdb.gimp_edit_copy_visible(img)
img2 = pdb.gimp_edit_paste_as_new()
It does work nice and doesn't seem to take too long.
So, my script does almost everything that I want. One last annoyance is that I can't seem to get the window title to change from Untitled-N.0 after the XCF save to the XCF filename. Neither of these seem to set the window title:
pdb.gimp_xcf_save(1, img, drawable, xcf_path, xcf_path)
pdb.gimp_file_save(img, drawable, xcf_path, xcf_path)
It makes me a little nervous to close windows that don't have the filenames in the title and are not marked clean (no *). I can do this at the end of the script
pdb.gimp_image_clean_all(img)
but the docs seem to say I shouldn't and that still doesn't set the window title.
How should I save an XCF from a Python script (I assume either of the pdb save methods above) and how do I set the window title? Should the image automatically be set as clean?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hello Ryan,
Duplicate the image and do your flattening on the copy. It's more

efficient than you might think -- the main time involved in
duplicating a moderate sized image seems to be actually in setting up
its GUI window rather
