Thanks for your suggestion and the snippet you devised. Pity that such procedure affects only the GIMP temporary directory; if it were effective in every folder, it would be great, especially for the issue we are discussing. By chance, can you tell me if my previous conjectures about the priority of the exclamation point are correct, besides on Windows, on other operating systems too? _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
