Re: [Gimp-user] TIF Layers

[Casey Connor <gimp-user-list caseyconnor org>]

Just to throw it out there into the universe: it would be great if GIMP 
offered an "open the analogous TIFF page for remaining files" 
checkbox... e.g. when I open 45 such TIFF's as layers I have to click 
through 45 dialogs to get the 'real' image for each layer. (One can of 
course automate this extraction with the command line as well.) Or a 
prefs setting to default to opening the largest page, or similar.

(It would also be great if Canon DPP had a "don't save thumbnail" on 
export, of course, but that's a different and much less helpful mailing 
list. :-) )
