xcf (gimp) image layers don't get identified correctly

Hi, this is my first post, first of all i would like to thank the developers for this great tool.

Yesterday, I was working with a 20 layers image in the gimp. I saved it to .xcf (the native gimp format), and then tried to convert it to .pdf. The problem is that the .xcf gets identified (with the 'identify' command) as a 2 layer only image. This doesn't happen when i save the file in the gimp to .psd (photoshop native format), in which case it gets identified as a 20 layers image file as expected. I first thought it could be a bug in the gimp, but it doesn't make much sense because when i open it back in the gimp it gets correctly loaded as a 20 layer image. I can attach (or post somewhere) an example file if you wish.

Best regards,

rober.

Either post a URL to an example image or send us a private-message (PM) with the file attached. Hopefully we will have a solution for you within a day or two after we reproduce the problem.

We can reproduce the problem you reported. We'll need a week or so to investigate and produce a proper patch.
