Re: [Gimp-developer] quit signal for plugins
Thank you for the link to that thread, it was very informative. I have yet to find any sort of workaround. I tried trapping all the TERM type signals but no luck there. Is doing a non blocking wait still under discussion? Actually, for my purposes it doesn't matter whether the wait is blocking, because I just need to run a gedit style Save changes? dialog. Or, if I only had a second, just save some sort of backup. It seems like several different plugins could take advantage of that because they make temporary images. (or would this still be only on plugin quit and not gimp quit?)

[...] I don't think there is any way to do this using current functionality. Communication between GIMP and its plug-ins is controlled by the plug-ins -- there is no way to send a signal from GIMP to a plug-in. When GIMP shuts down while a plug-in is running, the only thing that tells the plug-in about it is the fact that the wire -- the shared memory channel used for communication -- stops functioning. That's why you typically see a wire read error message in this situation. -- Bill ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I have tried using the quit signal in pluginInfo:
GimpPlugInInfo PLUG_IN_INFO =
{
NULL,
quit,
query,
run
};
This only seems to be called, however, when the plugin closes and not
the gimp.
(It is a GTK plugin with it's own window like script-fu, I get the
signal when I close the plugin window, but if the user closes the gimp
I have no way to clean up.)
Is this a bug or is my understanding of what this callback is supposed
to do flawed?
The latter. The quit function is called by libgimp whenever the plug-in
quits, not when GIMP quits. This is not very useful, but that is how it
was designed a long time ago.
I am not entirely sure how plug-ins are quit by the core when the GIMP
core exits. It would probably make sense to make sure that the plug-in's
quit function is called. On the other hand we don't want the application
to hang there waiting for plug-ins to quit. If you want to investigate
this further, we could try to help you to fix this issue.
