Can't preview .xcf files without GIMP  
Written by timnwells the 5 Nov 09 at 09:16. Not an idea
In nautilus I can see a thumbnail preview of .xcf files but I cannot seem to preview them in Image Viewer. Sometimes it would be good to be able to preview a .xcf file that is still being worked on without having to open it it gimp or export it to another format.
