It's even on the list of things that the file plug-in library should have. The file plug-in library we would like to port all our file plug-ins to.

If more users would be so persistent, as you call it, then there would probably not a single developer left who would feel that developing GIMP is fun. There would probably be noone who would be willing to spend his/her free time on it. I don't see the point in your mail. We listened to Guillermo and his issue was addressed in almost no time. It was absolutely not needed to stick to any guns. We are working very hard to finally get 2.4 out and because we are taking this very seriously, we are in this pre-release mode for a long time already. It would help a lot if we could concentrate on the important things now which is to bring out GIMP 2.4. The users could finally benefit from the hard work the developers have put into GIMP over the last years. Perhaps than the users would finally realise that a lot is happening to make GIMP better and easier to use. Can we settle this now and get back to work? Thanks.
