Bug Description

Binary package hint: gpaint

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

apt-cache policy gpaint

  Installed: 0.3.3-2
  Candidate: 0.3.3-2

I opened a gif file in gpaint changed it a bit, then pressed save. Gpaint brings up an error saying:
Failed to save file /home/cmaster/Desktop/rwpower.gif.

This build of gdk-pixbuf does not support saving the image format: gif

I don't mind this so much I'm more than happy to save it in another format. However on pressing ok in the error message gpaint closes and my original gif file is overwritten with nothing (size becomes 0 bytes, no data in it).

I would think that gpaint would give you this error and not save over the top of the existing file with nothing. I would also not expect when gpaint decides that it cant save a file, for it to close. I would expect it to tell me it is unable to do it (like it has) and then take me back to gpaint so i can choose to save it in a different format, or exit without saving.
