Re: comments in gifs
i know it's old (very old). but i cannot force the sysadmins to upgrade it if they're reluctant to do so. is there a workaround with version 1.1.4 itself?

Re: comments in gifs
thanks for the tip. however, the gimp-comment parasite does not seem to work with gifs. i've tried it with other file formats (apart from gifs) and it worked fine. what could be the problem. tia Gunjan On Tue, 6 Jun 2000, Marc Lehmann wrote: On Tue, Jun 06, 2000 at 10:24:11AM +0530, Gunjan Kapoor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: how does one add comments to gif images with scripting ?

This is strange, the code is there (and seems to work here). However, I just found (and fixed) a bug in that the gif plug-in expected a zero-terminated string there at all times (still not right, I would expect the comment to be an opaque binary object, if the format supports it). Did you include a terminating zero when setting gimp-comment? -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |

A slap on the wrist for changing the spec out from under the software, though. Ouch! But the original definition did not make much sense, so it was better to fix it ;) -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
Re: comments in gifs
yes i've tried a terminating 0. also tried generating the string with sprintf but to no avail. i'm using version 1.1.4. what is the value for the 'flags' supposed to be ? i.e the parasite is passed as a reference [parasite_name, flags, parasite_value].
