Hi an update to my question: I managed to find gimpfileops - so I got closer to solution, I am using this call: gimp_file_save() and have two other questions 1.) drawable ID=layer ID Correct? 2.) I can get png options dialog, but no filename and directory selection dialog!? I used "test.png" as both filenames and it saved the file into current directory (I run the gimp from console). And this is not enough Thanks ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tibor Bamhor <tiborb95@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 2013/5/14 Subject: Invoking save dialog from within plugin To: gimp-developer <gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx> Hi one or two short quetions: I am using gimp_image_duplicate() call in C plugin - obviously it works, but: 1) how can I make the new image visible? (In fact I dont need this, I am just curious here....) 2) how can I invoke "save" dialog for this new image? I am fine with new image not being visible, I just want the user enter new name/location to save that new image.
