Recent libtiff supports loading BigTiff automatically so we didn't have anything to do there (as long as a recent libtiff was used). For creating a BigTIFF though, we simply needed to add a "8" flag to TIFFOpen/TIFFClientOpen when creating a new image (i.e. using "w8" mode) as explained here in the "Implementation Strategy" section: http://www.simplesystems.org/libtiff/BigTIFFProposal.html What this commit does: - Explicitly bump our libtiff requirement to version 4.0.0 or higher (which is where BigTiff support appeared). libtiff 4.0.0 was apparently released on 2011-12-22 and is available on all current distributions, so it's probably not a problem. - Switch to detect libtiff with a pkg-config test (added in libtiff commit faf5f3eb before 4.0.0 release, so it's fine) instead of function checks. (Note: meson was already detecting for libtiff-4 with pkg-config, which was obviously wrong since it should have mimicked autotools, but well… then changes were minimal on meson) - Add a new "bigtiff" boolean argument to the "file-tiff-save" PDB procedure, FALSE by default. I set this as the first argument as I figure that choosing the format you want is quite a major choice. Unless I misunderstood something, since BigTIFF is really designed to be an evolution of TIFF with a "minimum change strategy", i.e. mostly using 64-bit instead of 32-bit offsets, everything which is possible in TIFF will be in BigTIFF (and oppositely as well, except of course having huge files) so there is no need to have 2 separate procedures. - Adding this new argument to the GUI dialog as a checkbox. - Tweak the load and export procedures' documentation strings to make clear we support both TIFF and BigTIFF. Note: interestingly there doesn't seem to be a separate mimetype for BigTIFF so nothing to update on this side. - Tweak the procedure labels too to mention BigTIFF. Since BigTIFF is still a different format (though very closely resembling) from TIFF, unlike some others which are just extensions embedded in a TIFF file (like GeoTIFF we recently added), I figure it deserves to be explicitly cited. |

------------------------------
GNU Image Manipulation Program
2.99 Development Branch
------------------------------
This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do what
you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.
If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.
If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
1. Web Resources
================
GIMP's home page is at:
https://www.gimp.org/
Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc. All things GIMP-ish are available from there.
There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient
forms-based interface.
The latest version of GIMP can be found at:
https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
2. Mailing Lists
================
We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
discussion. There is more info at
https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html
Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.
Gimp-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc. Gimp-developer-list is oriented
to GIMP core and plug-in developers. Gimp-gui-list is for discussing
about GIMP interface to improve user experience. Most people will only
want to be subscribed to gimp-user-list. If you want to help develop
GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you
want to help with GUI design, the gimp-gui list is where you want to
subscribe.
3. IRC
======
And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is
#gimp. Many of the developers hang out there. Some of the GIMPNet
servers are:
irc.gimp.org:6667
irc.us.gimp.org:6667
irc.eu.gimp.org:6667
4. Customizing
==============
The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.
You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/menurc`.
Have fun,
