[Gimp-docs] open command

[Jeff <jeffw55 optusnet com au>]

Hi

I am a relatively new user to GIMP. I just wanted to make a small suggestion for improving documentation.

Currently, the manual says:

> The Open…
>         command activates a dialog that lets you load an existing image
>         from your hard-drive or an external medium. For alternative, and
>         sometimes more convenient, ways of opening files, see the
>         following commands (Section 2.5, “Open as Layers…”
>         etc.).

I would also like to suggest adding the following:

The Open command can also open an existing GIMP project or a file saved in .xcf format.

GIMP Image files are normally saved with the .xcf file extension, which stands for eXperimental Computing Facility.

Several other image editors/viewers can also work with .xcf files.

You may also use the Open Image as layers command to open a GIMP Image file.

I hope that helps
