Hi Leonard, I think if you make sure to check the version of the XCF, this will be exceptionally useful to users of ImageMagick. Its not at all an uncommon request on gimp-user or the gimp newsgroup. Batch conversion is still best handled via the commandline, and having the ability to use

Appreciated. But it does sound like you'd also not be interested in my adding XCF writing support to ImageMagick then either??! (which is fine, I have other things to work on ;). My two cents ... Personally, I am in favor of XCF support in ImageMagick. Bill Sebok Computer
