OK, based on the above comment and since the app provides a setting to override unwanted behavior (which is, on the other hand, a "feature" rather than a "bug"), I'll set the bug to Invalid.
Thanks for reporting back! ** Changed in: gimp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928293 Title: always adds a “created with the GIMP” comment to files Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Version: 2.6.6-0ubuntu1~hardy1~andre1 GIMP always adds a comment “Created with the GIMP” to files when saving. This is inacceptable, as it severely raises the file size, especially when trying to use GIMP to make photos smaller to get them to fit into space-constrained database fields or LDAP.
