You must be using windows which is not case sensitive but linux where gimp originated is. picture.tif \= Picture.TIF \= Picture.tif And linux discerns file type by an internal file flag rather than the extension so *.tiff, *.tif, *.TIF, and *.jpg *could* all be the same png file type :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
