Suggested improvement

Currently Gimp has no key associated to overwrite the currently loaded image in the file format in which it has been loaded.

*Ctl-s* stores the current image as an xcf file.

I propose to assign *Shift-Ctl-s* to storing the current image under its unaltered name and format.

*Why: *I often make screenshots to document software features. I have a script file which makes a screenshot 7 seconds after the function has been triggered by a keystroke. 7 seconds is usually enough to bring about the situation I want to capture with the screenshot, which might otherwise not been screenshotted, since some functions "eat up" the screenshot triggering keystrokes and thus they don't trigger the screenshot.

Often, only a tiny part of the whole screenshot is interesting. Therefore my script automatically opens the stored file to let me crop the image as needed. Finally I would like to store it whit a keystroke-action. One might add to the keystroke-invokable function to immediately close Gimp without further user intervention after it has stored the file in its old format.

*Additional question:* Is it possible, to automatically direct gimp by a command line option (e.g. -c)  to begin with the crop tool after it has been started?
