problems with saving files in gimp

I have a unique problem. When I save a file in gimp, the file does not show up in the Finder window when I look for it. If I do a file->open from gimp, it's there. I looked for it in terminal using ls -a and it is still not there.

Has anyone heard of this problem and it? If so, how?

Thanks

Where are you saving it?

I have a directory on my desktop, say "Images." I go to the same directory using the Finder but the file is not there.
