In addition to the other suggestions, if you're on Windows you can open the file with IrfanView. If the file type doesn't match the extension, it will give a warning and optionally change the file extension. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Imagemagick has a commandline tool called "identify". The output of this also contains the file format.

[Gimp-user] Non-background layers with no alpha
The 'duplicate layer' function in the GAP's Frames Modify dialog permits you to create a layer that does not have an alpha channel. This doesn't really create any problems, but I recall seeing in Bugzilla that this should not be possible (this was just a side comment to another issue and I was unable to locate the report). Also, I am unaware of any other way to create such an non-background alpha-less layer and wonder if this behavior should be changed to match the GIMP's Duplicate Layer functionality. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

The movie should pan from left to right. I don't know if gimp can make mpeg or avi, but single frames are ok. My friend told me, that a script will do, but i don't find such a script. You can do a pan using the GAP (Gimp Animation Plugin). It will make avis, gifs and mpegs if you have the right libs and stuff installed.
