[Gimp-user] Setting preferences for saving png
Hi all! I usually have to save transparent pixels of PNGs, but time to time don't save them just to compare the difference in size. The problem is that default preferences get changed, and if I just save instead of save as, I lose my work on the transparent parts of the image. Is there a way to hardcode preferences for saving a png? Thanks Pere ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

All other image formats are for what you want to do with the images after having them processed with Gimp. If you switch to using .xcf as you primary file format and only export to .png (or whatever) if you are done with your work, you won't lose anything.

However, the editing of transparent pixels is handled by a script (mktpstamp) as the end step to save a png from a layer in the xcf file, and sometimes I want to improve the results of this script, hence I am editing directly the png file. I've tried a call to file-png-set-defaults in the script I use, but even if I see ~/gimp-2.4/parasiterc writed when quitting gimp, this doesn't affect the current session. For now, I've created a simple script that just calls file-png-save2 whith the parameters I need and use it for saving.
