Re: [Gimp-developer] Enhancement request for .cur cursor files

["Joao S. O. Bueno" <gwidion mpc com br>]

I don't know if closing the bugt report as "invalid" is a nice choice,
if it is a valid feature being requested.

Are there more bug reports asking for the same thing? (/me shyes away
of dealing with bugzilla)  - so this would be a duplicate?

> From your quotes above, it is clear that creating cursos files does
fit in the product vision, and I do agree it GIMP should have support
for it.
