DIGIKAM ON 4K DISPLAY SOFTWARE
Gimp is an extraordinary, irreplaceable software but, I regret to announce here that Gimp 2.10 XCF format looks like a closed format. It may sound strange in the Linux world but, sadly, it's the reality. I have to convert Gimp 2.10 XCF files to proprietary Adobe format.
As i explain above, since 2.9 Gimp version, I can't see XCF thumbnails in Digikam. This new version arrives after 20 years of developement since the first public 0.1.0, released at Christmas 2001. I imagine they could, in an other world, do a kind of "reverse engineering" but that would be a strange thing in a Free Software / Open Source world. Fri digiKam 7.4.0 is released by digiKam Team Dear digiKam fans and users, After five months of maintenance, the digiKam team is proud to present version 7.4.0 of its open source digital photo manager. It comes from the fact that Gimp 2.10 code cannot be used inside other graphic softwares. This issue doesn't come from others softwares developers incompetence. Why this changing behaviour? It's a big problem for users and others apps developers. Before, other graphic applications could display <= 2.8 Gimp version XCF thumbnails. The facts: at this time, Gimp 2.10 XCF files can be only loaded by Gimp (to be written by another application is not the subject here)Įxcept Gimp 2.10, none application is able to display Gimp 2.10 XCF multi-layers thumbnails.ĭigikam, Gthumb, Nautilus, Thunar, Pcmanfm, Gwenview, Geeqie, etc, none of them can display XCF thumbnails Operating System: Arch Linux and all others
