CPT import in GIMP

Hello.

One of the features I miss in GIMP is an ability to import Corel PHOTO-PAINT layered format (.cpt). I have started to analyze CPT file format, and to help myself I wrote in my spare time little program to parse and get some useful info from these files. However, I have no time at the moment to develop it further, so I have decided to public the source code.

I'm sending this post in the hope that it could be useful to develop such plugin/functionality in GIMP. Code is rather ugly, because I'm not an experienced C developer, but I will try to provide as much help on request (at least on things I remember) as possible, if anyone is interested in.

The code is available at: http://code.google.com/p/cptinfo/

best regards, Jakub Argasi?ski

Bug? Clone Tool after Merge Layers

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Action:

Have two layers, one has a Layer Mask that I have painted in to unmask the edges of a models face from a Gaussian Blur tool.

Layer Mask gets squashed down with a "Merge Visible Layers" command. After that, I can't seem to get the Clone or Heal or really any drawing tool to work on the image. Unselected everything even.

Seems non-obvious to me, so if it's not a bug, there needs to be an error message at least....

I cannot reproduce this. Perhaps you can give a more detailed description of what exactly you are doing? You could perhaps also show us an XCF file.

Make sure the background layer is selected in the layers dialogue.

That should happen automatically after "Merge Visible Layers". Do you end up with no layer being selected? That would be a bug then.

Checked that at the time. One, single layer is shown after merge layers, and it is selected. No matter what tool I chose, I could not draw on the image. When re-opened, I could draw on it just fine. Drove me batty.

I have not seen such a problem.

Because of the way "Layer Mask gets squashed down" was written I was wondering if a script was involved. For example, "save selection to channel" leaves you with the background layer not selected.
