XnView Software

You must check the returns value of gflGetFileInformationFromMemory

I know ! This is what I am doing it now.
But with an older GflSdk version (2.90) this was working fine.
I have encapsulated the GFL_FILE_INFORMATION in a class to not forget to free the structure, but now I cannot use it ...

Hi,

If gflGetFileInformationFromMemory returns an error (for example if I call it with a PNG image and I set the index parameter to jpeg) then when I call gflFreeFileInformation, the application crash.

Here is a code example that crash if you call it with a PNG image. Works fine with a jpeg image ...

Hi,

I use the gflSaveIPTC function to add IPTC to an image. As it is written in the manual it works only with JPEG files.
Do you plan to make this function work with TIFF files and if yes (I hope!) when.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is it the same problem that I had some time ago: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=3017. I haven't tested again, but I don't think it has been solved.

Sorry Pierre,

I didn't remember that you already implemented it. It works perfectly.
Thanks.

Hi Pierre,

This problem becomes rather annoying to me. When do you plan to release a new Gfl Sdk version and will it include this option: Compose with Alpha (as it exists in the Read/Png parameters of XnView).

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pierre,

Will you include this option in the next version of the SDK. It would be great.

Have a good week-end.

Ithier

Thank you Pierre

I have tested the new beta version (2.52) and the Photshop problem with IPTC is gone.
IrfanView continue to exibit the same problem but, as it works fine with 3 others software, I think it is more an irfanview problem than a xnview problem.

Hi Pierre,

I know you are very busy with new version of XNView, but when can we expect a new version of SDK with this problem corrected.

Best regards

Do you have AFPL Ghostscript installed ? It is necessary to open the EPS file and not the thumbnail included.
You can find it at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/

Hi,

I think that have a problem in connection with MaierMan problem. When I add IPTC data to an image, I cannot see the data in all the applications that I use. I have added data in the folowing fields: Caption, Source, Country, City, ByLine, Date Created, Keywords, supplemental categories.

Hi,

The documentation is in Help\GflAx-Help.chm. And you should look at functions like GetBlob, SetBlob or ReceiveBinary, Send Binary.

Hi,

I don't know anything about .NET, but from a C++ point of view the line TheBitmap = new GFL_BITMAP(); is useless as all the GFL_BITMAP are managed by GflSdk. Allocation is done by functions like gflLoadBitmap or gflAllockBitmap and you have to use gflFreeBitmap when you do not need your GFL ...

I don't know your about server.mappath problem, but as you are reading a gif file you must enable LZW compression before reading the file (because there is a patent from UNISYS on LZW, so it is not activated by default):

Image.EnableLZW = TRUE

Hi,

I have a 32 bits png image. When I load it and save it in PNG all is fine, the transparency is kept. When I load it and save it in JPEG, the image is mainly black (transparency become black).
When I load this PNG image in XNview it is also black except when I use the
"Compose Image with alpha ...
