[Gimp-developer] GIMP 2.9 XCF files and digiKam, gnome file browsers, etc

[Elle Stone <ellestone ninedegreesbelow com>]

Is the GIMP 2.9 XCF file format? API? (not sure what the right phrase 
is) stable enough that it makes sense to hope that other applications 
like digiKam and various other file browsers and image viewers could 
start showing thumbnails?

For example, digiKam can create thumbnails for 2.8 XCF files but not for 
2.9 XCF files.

I'd like to ask the digiKam devs to provide support for showing a 
thumbnail for GIMP 2.9 XCF files. But if the XCF files are likely to 
change substantially before 2.10 is released, maybe now is not a good time.

Best,
Elle
