[digiKam-users] GIMP xcf support?

[digikam-2]

DK 7.2.0: is there the GIMP xcf support built-in or through some
external plugin?

If not, is it on the horizon?
If not, how should I export my GIMPs: TIFF, PSD or ...?

Hi,

Yes Gimp and other file format are supported by KF5::kimageformat framework :

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kimageformats

This component must be installed with KDE

It's already installed:

Do I need to enable something in DK 7.2.0 appimage?

Thank you

Nothing. AppImage include all plugins to deal with XCF files.

Best

Can you share the XCF file to test ?

Hi,

Yes problem is fully reproducible here. the Unit test from digiKam trying to load image report a message from the KImageIO XCF plugin as file is not recognized :

digikam.dimg: "cares-20170212-6640.xcf" : "QIMAGE" file identified
digikam.dimg.qimage: Can not load " "cares-20170212-6640.xcf" " using DImg::DImgQImageLoader!
digikam.dimg.qimage: Error message from loader: "Unable to read image data"                              <=====!!!!!!!
digikam.dimg: "cares-20170212-6640.xcf" : Unknown image format !!!

This i sa problem in the KDE plugin. The problem is the same for both shared files.

Note  that Exiftool is able to load XCF metadata :

[gilles@localhost dimg]$ exiftool  cares-20170212-6640.xcf
ExifTool Version Number         : 12.00

Megapixels                      : 17.1

So, please report this problem to KDE bugzilla component "frameworks-kimageformats". Look like there are already some files open about XCF support, and especially when color depth is higher than 8 bits.
