That changes things slightly. The workround depends on how the name of the new image is created: If subpic defines the file name, keep a copy of a blank BMP file somewhere and change the 'gimp' line in the wrapper to something along the lines of: if [ ! -r "$1" ] then cp /somewhere/$1 fi gimp "$1" should do the trick. This makes a copy of your stored default blank image where subpic expects to find it and then runs Gimp to edit the copy. If the image file already exists, then the Gimp will simply edit it. According to the Gimp manpage the command "gimp -a newimagename" should cause the Gimp to create a new image and, when done, save it as 'newimagename' but that doesn't work for Gimp 2.6.11 Martin
