Function
GimpUiexport_image
Declaration [src]
GimpExportReturn
gimp_export_image (
GimpImage** image,
gint* n_drawables,
GimpDrawable*** drawables,
const gchar* format_name,
GimpExportCapabilities capabilities
)
Description [src]
Takes an image and a drawable to be saved together with a description of the capabilities of the image_format. If the type of image doesn’t match the capabilities of the format a dialog is opened that informs the user that the image has to be exported and offers to do the necessary conversions.
If the user chooses to export the image, a copy is created.
This copy is then converted, image and drawables are changed to
point to the new image and the procedure returns GIMP_EXPORT_EXPORT.
The save_plugin has to take care of deleting the created image using
gimp_image_delete() and the drawables list with g_free() once the
image has been saved.
If the user chooses to Ignore the export problem, image and
drawables are not altered, GIMP_EXPORT_IGNORE is returned and the
save_plugin should try to save the original image. If the user
chooses Cancel, GIMP_EXPORT_CANCEL is returned and the save_plugin
should quit itself with status GIMP_PDB_CANCEL.
If format_name is NULL, no dialogs will be shown and this function
will behave as if the user clicked on the ‘Export’ button, if a
dialog would have been shown.
