Then few days ago I "updated" on my gitlab to make it compatible for GIMP 3 (I did not test yet)
Then I recall that many people asked to be able to save with the original name...
thus I get caught in that spiral down of the scheme scripting
Maybe script-fu is the simpler alternative for users. There are (were) Gimp 3 examples around:
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gimp-3-plu...ples/15114 and the link to the scripts worked a couple of weeks ago, looks like it has been pulled, probably changes to syntax, who-knows.
I did download a couple, and one that works (at least it does here with 2.99.19 appimage) is attached. This is a script-fu plugin. Goes in the plugins folder in its own folder, has to be executable. Backs up at intervals. and saves a .xcf in a ~/Autosaved folder. Registers bottom of the File menu.
There are lines in the script for vector and for making a file name.ext so it might help.
The python examples I have seen look horribly complicated to me, but then I am only a dabbler. A proper "macro" would be nice, but that is only mentioned for the dim-and-distant-future. In Gimp glacial development terms, I do not think I will be around to see that
