Success-return-value

Hello,

is there a convention for return values in Gimp, which says: on success return TRUE or a value, and on fauilure FALSE or NULL?

Or can it be different at different sources, rather be a taste of the one who developped something?

Ciao, oliver

That is the convention, yes.

Well, there is lots of plug-in code that follows different coding styles and conventions. We apply the GIMP coding style on all new files, but there is still cruft in some corners of the code-base that has not been cleaned up yet. So you might find code that uses a different convention for return values.
