Hello GIMP Developers, My name is Nonso Iwu and I have been using GIMP to create portraits as an online service. Since I have to create multiple files for new portraits, I decided to automate this process by adding a shell command to my machine using C. I try to read the template .xcf file as a normal file (using fopen()) and write the contents of that file into a new .xcf file (using fputc()). I wait for an EOF character in order to indicate when to stop reading from the file. Essentially, I am trying to copy a template .xcf file and rename it. However, whenever I perform these actions, the file is not copied completely (an 500KB template producing a 1KB clone seems incorrect). So my questions are: Am I reading these .xcf files correctly? Is there another way of reading these files? Is there a library of functions for reading an .xcf? Thank you all for your work on this open source project! Awaiting your response, Nonso Iwu -- *ZoVirtuoso* Nonso Iwu Instagram: @zovirtuoso *Tell your friends to request a portrait!* _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
