Re: [Gimp-user] Setting preferences for saving png

2008-04-11 Thread Torsten Neuer 
Hi, 

 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?

Not one that I know of.

But I think you should save your *work* as .xcf anyway.

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.

Yes, I currently save as xcf.

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.


Thanks
Pere
