[Gimp-developer] Plug-ins - Getting List of Available File Formats

[khalim19 <khalim19 gmail com>]

Hello,

I made a Python plug-in that exports layers as separate images and for 
user convenience I implemented in the GUI a list of file formats, 
similar to the one in the GIMP export dialog.

I have to maintain the list manually, which isn't ideal as I have to 
copy-paste the file format descriptions and extensions every time they 
get changed. Plus, I can't get the file format descriptions to be 
translated to different languages.

Hence, I would like to ask if it is possible in GIMP plug-ins to somehow 
get the list of available file formats - their description and file 
extensions (and possibly the names of the corresponding file load/save 
PDB procedures). This could also make it more convenient to determine 
whether the file extension the user entered is invalid (instead of 
calling "gimp-file-save" and letting it fail).

Regards,
