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.

Cheers

No, it counts as a missing feature perhaps.

Unlikely, unless somone provides a patch. The WMF loader plug-in is 
very
simple. 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.

Frankly speaking, GIMP seems like the wrong tool for the job. It was 
not
designed to detect file formats.
