Description Pedro Gimeno 2003-03-22 17:36:13 UTC 
This applies to the 1.2.4pre-20030213 for Windows version. When saving an 
image to a file in .XCF format which uses layer masks, the layer masks are 
not saved to the file; when loading it again they are lost.

How to reproduce:
 1. Create a 256x256 image.
 2. Add a new layer.
 3. Create a mask for the new layer. Optionally draw something in the mask.
 4. Save the resulting image in .XCF format.

When doing
 5. Reload the image.
the mask is gone. It properly loads images with masks saved with Gimp 
1.2.3 for Linux, so the problem seems to appear only when saving.

Sorry, I can not reproduce this problem with gimp-1.2.4-pre2 on Linux.
Layer masks are correctly saved and loaded in the XCF file format.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2003-03-24 18:59:52 UTC 
Fixed in the gimp-1-2 branch (CVS HEAD does not have the bug):

2003-03-24  Michael Natterer  <mitch@gimp.org>

  * app/xcf.c (xcf_save_layer): changed if(fail) (which is
  always TRUE) to if(*fail) (fixes bug #108962).

Removing Tor's address from CC list since it was not Windows-specific 
as I first thought.
