Yet another completely different (and rather radical) idea: If the user saves as JPEG (say), GIMP automatically and silently saves the XCF alongside it or in a special folder. Then Open/Save does everything you want, and when the beginner user reopens the JPEG, he can be asked if he/she wants to actually get back the XCF. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
