And there is your answer: GIMP is not an MDI app. It places each image in a completely independent window rather than in sub-windows within a main application window. > So, hitting CRTL+S works... but how does GIMP know which image to save now > ??

When you use a keyboard command, the image window retains focus, so it can save the focused window. When you use a menu command, focus moves to the window that the menu is attached to; if this is not an image window (as is the case with GIMP, which only has a menu on the toolbox window), then saving the focused window makes no sense. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
