Semi transparent watermark.

i think is not really a bug,
i think is not really a bug, most of gimp filters and even tools works (or in some cases works as expected) only in RGB or RGBA mode

Seems to be very interesting, but when I try to create a watermark, I get the following message :
Erreur lors de l'exécution de sf-wm-create :
Error: Procedure execution of file-pat-save failed: Impossible d'ouvrir « C:\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\.gimp-2./patterns/photo-watermak.pat » en écriture : No such file or directory
Has somebody got an idea to solve this problem ?
error message
I had the same problem and eventually had to reinstall it again and this is a bad news. I think that the source of this problem in some structure incompatibility of the system.
