I finally found the bug report I made: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578630 It was FIXED 2009-06-15 which means that if I can get my Gimp upgraded, then it should work. Unfortunately, I have to depend upon somebody else for that (and get trained on doing it myself, but it is a mission-critical application in our company, so breaking something is not an option). But, to answer your question.... The problem I am (on 2.6.6) having is with TIF files. Martin N. confirmed this on April 10, 2009 and said.... === This happens to me as well and from looking at the code it also happens for gbr, gih, pat, pnm and raw which opens a file for writing like this: fd = g_open (filename, O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY | _O_BINARY, 0644); E.g png instead uses fp = g_fopen (filename, "wb"); This inconsistency doesn't make any sense, feel free to open a bug report. The latter is identical to the former apart from the permissions, so we probably want to use the latter for all plug-ins. - Martin === _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
