Basically to prove what altering has happened to a piece of evidence in case processing is disputed. There is no out of the box functionality like this because this particular requirement is quite special in its own right, to fill this need the log must prove that a) its from the editing of a correct image b) the end result is what people have. This requires that the hashes of all images saved and loaded are recorded and all recordings have a time stamp. Currently gimp does not have such functionality because nobody has been interested in adding one. However, I believe adding such logging facility to gimp is not difficult. If the aim is simply to log, and do so with proof value then it should not take a competent coder more than a month to implement. However since this not a general interest functionality, they probably would need to pay a coder to do this. --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
