Well, I'm not using GIMP only to detect file formats, but to perform image transformations such as midtone adjustment and unsharp mask, where I believe and hope GIMP is an appropriate tool to use. I want however script-fu to do the whole job, and that includes detecting image types such as rgb and grayscale for a vast set of image formats.
If anyone knows has alternative way of doing this in GIMP, let me know. Thanks anyway.

It uses libwmf to load the file and as far as I can see, the libwmf library always returns an RGBA buffer. So you might even have to change the library first. > I'm stuck to Gimp, so ImageMagick is not an alternative. Frankly speaking, GIMP seems like the wrong tool for the job. It was not designed to detect file formats.
