[digiKam-users] Gimp, Kimageformats, Digikam, sun is shining...

[Gilles Caulier]

This week end, i will rebuild all bundles with KF5 5.55 and see where is
the problem.

I fear, in fact that we need later to do a XCF image loader as well in
digiKam core, to not depend of KimageFormats, which is not well
maintained...

Perhaps the idea is to extend the plugin loader in digiKam 6.1.0 to permit
to  write image loaders as plugins for better flexibility.
