[Gimp-developer] 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?

Control-E will do this. Note that for some image formats (especially JPEG and TIFF) this can result in loss of data in the image - in the TIFF case, metadata, and in the JPEG case, actual image detail because of compression. ankh / liam / demib0y -- Liam Quin - paligo.net, delightfulcomputing.com Cancer gofundme https://www.gofundme.com/f/5u9v7-every-little-helps Vintage pictures & texts https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ Full-time "slave" in voluntary servitude ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
