Gimp -SAVE +EXPORT

- a Gimp scrript-fu: Save Original xcf +Export jpg/png Copies for Web-

This script is for me is really a time saver and may be hard to find because is not listed in The Gimp

plugin registry

Allow to simultaneusly

1 save the original as Xcf ,so will remain fully editable
(using other format layers, path, selection will get lost )

2 Save a copy in jpg and/or png format to be displayed on the web ,e-mailed to friend or whatever
(jpg will allow a minor file size, png offer looseless quality and preserve transparency if present)

Original, and copies will be saved with same name in the same folder

#################################################################################################

The script will create 2 new menu command in gimp


File/Save XCF and Export...

To use if you already have saved a previous version of the image as xcf.
will update that and add exported png and/or jpg copies

If the image was not already saved a message will advice of the error

and
File/Save-As XCF and Export...

Works well with gimp 2.6 on Windows linux as in Mac

Please do not ask me again how install script:
the short answer is drop it in your gimp script folder,
if you don't know where is it load gimp, go to Edit/preferences/folder/script
there you will see where is...to be exact there are 2 script folder that for extra script
should be that in your user directory...but will work also if you put it in the other one
