Hi,

Just as a note to add to discution I test & use daily the *.ora format 
on Kubuntu 12.04 and I tried reproducing observations of Brett on this 
thread without success.

Here ( KDE, Kubuntu ) *.ora files are listed. on fresh as on old *.ora , 
done with Mypaint or Krita or Gimp : 
http://wstaw.org/m/2012/07/02/2012-07-02_screenshot-001.png ( sorry for 
the bluring of some files and shortcut , to protect privacy of my new 
client ).
Only annoying point for me  : I never get the thumbnail preview working 
in this open/save dialog ; it seams as if they are based on a system 
browser and not follow my Dolphin configuration exept for bookmark. ( I 
also never understood why after all this year GTK save/open dialog and 
KDE doesn't share same location bookmarks... well... I think everyone 
got his own standard here once again and the war occur behind. But ok, 
sorry , last sentence = totally out of topic )

Thats the main way for me to open my files. I don't have this dialog 
either ( filter one ).

Thats all for my feedback, I have a Xubuntu session here, I will try to 
boot on it later and update to see if it's not a xfce issue ( with the 
*.ora thumbnailer or mimetype management , I know since last Xfce 
version the *.ora thumbnailer got included ).
