A simple cron job - 'find' with date and filename tests - would do the trick, and might be quicker to write than a plug-in. Also, for a short time you'd be able to go back and re-edit the XCF if needed, and retain any extras - masks, layers, etc not present in the TIFF. It might even be a time *saver* if you think about it that way. Or writing a simple plugin to save the current file as TIFF, overwriting the original, with a fixed set of options should not take 8 hours. I'd guess an hour, or maybe two at the outside. But I don't have the free time myself - as a matter of fact, I should get back to work right now instead of reading mailing lists ;) Chris _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
