[digiKam-users] GIMP xcf support?

[Gilles Caulier]

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 :

Comment                         :

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.
