Re: [Gimp-user] script-fu: file-pbm-save gives ppm file

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

It is a bug in this version of GIMP that no longer exists in gimp
2.8.0 and later -

it was corrected in February - 2012 by Massimo Valentini, just prior
to the 2.8 version release
in May.

Please take in mind that GIMP do _not_ maintain bug-fix releases of
outdated stable versions -
the current mainline branch is 2.8.x - and if your OS does not support
that, either upgrade, or refrain from trying serious work on it.

I am pretty shure that although GIMP 2.8 is not the official packages
for your 2012 Ubunut, there are GIMP 2.8 builds for it available under
alternate install methods.

PS. type
git show d93d2e71

at a GIMP source code checkout to see the fix.
