As for Joshua - just e-mail me confirming you can run python plug-ins, and re-state your need , and I can make such a script in little time. Just --- have you tried simply reassing the shortcuts? You can enable dynamic keyboard shortcuts in preferences-interface (and also, turn of mnmonics, so you can have single letter shortcuts, instead of ctrl+shift+alt+ KEY things). Maybe if you have C copy, V, paste as new, and B save as you are better of then with any script we could think of. (and you donṫ need to save these shortcuts - iwtih dynamic shrotcuts on, you can simply assign then each time you are slicing a sheet of stamps, and have the defaut shortcuts load at the next gimp restart) js -- xdotool key Ctrl+C Ctrl+Shift+V Ctrl+Shift+S If, for example, you always saves PNGs, you might want to add to that: xdotool key Ctrl+C Ctrl+Shift+V Ctrl+Shift+S Delete period p n g Home so, delete whatever filename is already in the File field, type '.png' and return to the start of the line. On Windows, you may be able to use AutoIt in a similar way. Alternatively you could use GIMP's pdb calls to accomplish this, something like this: pdb.gimp_edit_copy (drawable) newimage = pdb.gimp_edit_paste_as_new () filename = filename pdb.gimp_file_save (newimage, drawable, filename, filename) where filename is a parameter that you can choose via the PythonFu automatic GUI. I have no idea what the old Windows Paint did.
