Well, I did not really think that this would work, but it did: I created a file called test.xcf with one text layer containing the word "test". Then I used this command: cat test.xcf | sed 's/test/TEST/g' > test2.xcf And "test" was replaced with "TEST". Whether or not this method will work for more complex documents I do not know. And of course I'm running linux, so if you are on windows you will need to use another program (IIRC cygwin has 'sed'). I see in the procedure browser that there are ways for a plugin to get and select text - so it seems possible to write a plug-in for find/replace instead. That would probably be a better method than "brute force" with sed.
