Can't create xcf format image

[fmw42]

I was trying to create a .xcf format image (GIMP format), but I am getting an error message (IM 6.3.6.4 on Mac OS 10.4.x)

convert logo2.gif logo2.xcf
convert: no encode delegate for this image format `logo2.xcf'.


Is this a bug or am I missing something?

ImageMagick can read but cannot write the XCF image format. Type

• identify -list format

Note the XCF mode is r--. If you could write XCF the mode would be rw+.

Thanks.

Sorry, I overlooked that when I first looked at identify -list format for the xcf format.

Hi,

Currently mine shows
XCF* XCF r-- GIMP image


How do I modify to
XCF rw+

Thank you

You need to write a WriteXCFImage() method inside coders/xcf.c then modify RegisterXCFImage() and add this line:

• entry->encoder=(EncodeImageHandler *) WriteXCFImage;
