Is possible load a image file in a standalone app?

Hello,

I try to load a file:

const gchar* filename = "/home/qrtt1/Desktop/Images/IMGP5585.JPG"; gint32 imageId = gimp_file_load(GIMP_RUN_NONINTERACTIVE, filename, filename);

but:

qrtt1@debian:~/Desktop/galileo/workspace/gimp-plugin-test$ ./a.out

LibGimpBase-ERROR **: gimp_wire_write_msg: the wire protocol has not been initialized
aborting...

I want to load the file and get drawable instance. Just trying call filter-plugin possiblity in standalone app. Anyone can tell me more information :)

thanks a lot.

libgimp relies on a running GIMP core. Without a GIMP core running, libgimp is useless. libgimp is not a generic graphics library.

If you want a generics graphic library, look into GEGL, www.gegl.org.
