[Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.0.6
GIMP version 2.0.6 is now available from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.0/. Please use one of the mirrors listed at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors This is a bug-fix release in the stable 2.0 series. This is a bugfix release in the stable GIMP 2.0 series. It fixes a couple of smaller problems and a crash that occurred with Pango-1.2 (but not with newer versions of Pango). This is the last release in the GIMP 2.0, tree which will be obsoleted by GIMP 2.2 very soon. A pre-release for GIMP 2.2 is already available for you to test. Here's a detailed list of fixes since version 2.0.5: - fixed gimp_file_load_thumbnail() - fixed gimp_displays_reconnect() (#154638) - initialize tool options with default values before deserializiation (#120832) - let the BMP loader deal better with broken BMP files (#15540) - fixed help-browser crashes on missing images (#138275) - fixed opacity handling in grid plug-in (#156750) - fixed text tool crashes with Pango 1.2 (#154144) Happy GIMPing, Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] open thumbnail and raw files
Sven Neumann wrote: Hi, Joseph Heled [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The gimp Open Image dialog contains preview thumbnail. To generate them, gimp calls the plugin to generate them. Now, for raw digital camera files (.nef, .crw ...) this is a very expensive operation - and obviously one would love to use the prepared/pre-stored thumbnail which exists in the file. From what I could see, there is no way I (the plugin author) can detect if the call is for a thumbnail or not. Can someone tell me if I am right or wrong? If wrong - how do I do it? If right, is there a chance this can be changed? You are right. You could suggest an API and we could consider to add it for GIMP 2.4. The most natural place is to add an optional argument to the run() gimp arguments. However I am not sure if this is possible. The plugin is a file loader, registered under Load gimp_install_procedure (file_rawphoto_load, ..., PLUG_IN_VERSION, Load/rawphoto, I guess Load implies some magic, since it is not visible in the regular menus. And perhaps 3 arguments is hardwired for such plugins? Can someone enlighten me? (P.S it would certainly make sense to run this plugin non interactively from a script, and in that case supply even additional arguments ...) -Joseph Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] ANNOUNCE: gimp-help-2 0.5
Hi, after the pre-release of GIMP 2.2 is released, there is also a new development snapshot available of the GIMP user manual You can download this snapshot from ftp.gimp.org: ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/testing/gimp-help-2-0.5.tar.gz There is also a browsable up to date CVS version online on: http://docs.gimp.org Note, that this snapshot don't include french content, which is requested by our french docwriters. Documentation in this release is available for English, Chinese, German and Swedish. The documentation covers mostly the upcoming GIMP 2.2. It contains besides documentation also technical fixes, which should let us build a PDF version in the future. The Team from Novell/SuSE helped us a lot to fix technical issues. In that regard big thanks to Thomas Schraitle, Kenneth Wimer and David Neary (who is not employed by Novell/SuSE but helped us communicating the whole thing).

Re: [Gimp-developer] open thumbnail and raw files
Hi, Joseph Heled [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The most natural place is to add an optional argument to the run() gimp arguments. However I am not sure if this is possible. The plug-in interface must remain API and ABI compatible to GIMP 2.0 so changing any of the existing functions is not an option. The plugin is a file loader, registered under Load gimp_install_procedure (file_rawphoto_load, ..., PLUG_IN_VERSION, Load/rawphoto, I guess Load implies some magic, since it is not visible in the regular menus. And perhaps 3 arguments is hardwired for such plugins? Can someone enlighten me? The Load menu is a concept that isn't used in 2.2 any longer. Please have a look at how file plug-ins register in GIMP 2.2. The new API is backward compatible with the old one of course. But it doesn't really make sense to look at the old APIs if we want to discuss further enhancements. (P.S it would certainly make sense to run this plugin non interactively from a script, and in that case supply even additional arguments ...) There's nothing that keeps you from doing that. If you are looking for an example, check out the SVG loader plug-in. Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi,
Joseph Heled [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Great. So what I suggest - i.e. a forth argument to run() to indicate
a request for a thumbnail should work and not break other plugins?
I think you need to make yourself familiar with the GIMP API. Did
you
ever look at the API reference manual?
Not in full, but I can't see why it will help, since this is internal
to gimp itself.
No it isn't. If I understand your approach, you suggested to add
parameters to run()
Not at all. I meant to add a parameter to 'param'
run(const gchar* name,
gint nparams,
const GimpParam* param,
...)
This affect only load plugins with 4 declared arguments (by the plugin), the
forth named thumbnail.
static GimpParamDef load_args[] =
{
{ GIMP_PDB_INT32, run_mode, Interactive, non-interactive },
{ GIMP_PDB_STRING, filename, The name of the file to load },
{ GIMP_PDB_STRING, raw_filename, URI of the file to load },
{ GIMP_PDB_INT32, thumbnail,use embedded thumbnail },
(I would need to be superman to make a working change to run() in 15 minutes ... :)
-Joseph
even though run() of course has a fixed set of
parameters. Since it is probably the most important function in the
GIMP API and implemented by all plug-ins, there is certainly not an
option to change it. What we need here is a way for load plug-ins to
register and additional procedure to load the thumbnail. This could
probably be designed in a way that would allow plug-ins to reuse their
main procedure.
I am however not going to continue this discussion in private mail. If
you want to talk about it, please use the mailing-list.
No problem. I thought it is best not to inflict my ignorance on the whole list.
