Digikam xcf version 8 compatibility

[maderios]

Hi
I use gimp-2.9.4 dev version. Some xcf features (xcf version 8) are not
available in the older gimp-2.8.x, no matter. I can't open in DK 5.1 new
.xcf files or get new .xcf thumbnails, it's very annoying...
Any hope to see this problem solved with next DK versions?
Thanks

There is no XCF codec in digiKam. this is delegate to a KDE component. See this entry in bugzilla for details :

Yes but it looks like a different problem: on my fedora 24 system, DK
5.1 works normally with .xcf created with gimp 2.8.x. It doesn't work
with .xcf created with gimp 2.9.4

yes, and this is due of XCF codec from KDE component which need to be updated. Report this problem in KDE bugzilla.
