Fair enough, but that's laborious. Why not simply have a history state that, with one click, reverts everything to how it was when you opened it? On 04/02/2011 17:41, phanisvara das wrote: On Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:00:00 +0530, Jeremy Nelljeremyn...@gmail.com wrote: How possible is it for

1. I create an artwork and save it as a Gimp file. 2. I later open it and make changes to it, saving along the way. 3. I then realise that I want to revert to the original state when I opened it. 4. Gimp seems to evert only to the last saved state, rather than the state when I opened it.
