Comment 9 for bug 987641

If I understand correctly THE problem is that Pinta saves tga file type in such a way that Pinta (on Ubuntu) can't recognize file type when opening the file it saves by itself.

I am for the hack if this generated file can be opened with other editing/viewing applications like e.g. Gimp. It probably should because this is allowed by tga file.

So this would fix the MAIN problem, opening file that was generated by Pinta application. On the other hand there may be some other program that generated the tga file in the same way as currently Pinta does, in this situation (don't know if such an application even exists) we will have a problem opening such a file again - so hack will not work.

In my humble opinion it is currently dramatically more important that Pinta can open tga file that has generated by itself then any other hypothetical application that would generated the same structured file type - so I vote for a hack.
