Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp user] How to remove the filename suggesting behavior of Saving dialog in Gimp 2.4.7

[minhsien0330 <minhsien0330 gmail com>]

Dear Liam R E Quin:

Thanks for your reply, although I still don't know how to remove it from
source code. :)

I upload 2 files from the source code in gimp 2.4.7 that may be related
with this function.
Does anybody know where is this function?
Thank you very much~

Best Regards,
Minhsien0330.
