You want an impossible thing :) They could be using an additional APPn marker. Maybe there's a reason why those are called 'application-specific', though, even with that widespread agreement on what APP0 and APP1 are used for. Maybe GIMP should just store its own application-specific metadata in any image format out there, seems to be common practice :) -- Regards, Michael ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

You can configure them in the preferences menu to always be on. I personally keep guides on all the time and only enable grid display when I find it useful rather than a distraction. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.orgPhoto Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535@ http://linuxcounter.net ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
