Can GIMP save paths in JPEG format?

For reference:

I understand why a path would not be saved with a jpg but I really think Gimp should save the path with a .png image
When you think how large an .xcf file is compared to .png it sure would be convenient if you could save a path in png image.

Then please open a issue and add an example file.

Would this realy be an issue or more a feature request.

Of cause it’s a feature request. But Gimp has only an “issue tracker” and you have to press the button “New Issue” and then select the feature request template.

@kevin_tee or anyone else here, Alx Sa aka @CMYK-Student is implementing loading clipping path metadata from JPEGs at the moment and needs more test/sample files. Could you provide more and upload them here or here:

@holes-in-sock if you have any PNGs with paths I think now its the best time to add them here too because I think it should be similar to implement. (I could not find any with a fast internet search.)
