Gimp 2.10 DDS Plugin Problem

[tiger_vi]

Hello,

I'm using the dds plugin 3.0.1 for gimp 2.10 found at
https://code.google.com/archive/p/gimp-dds/downloads

With the introduction of the new Gimp version the possibility was added to add masks to layer groups.

If layer masks are used an error pops up everytime you want to export the .dds file.

   

The export itself works perfectly but I have to close the GIMP Error window everytime.

Has anybody an Idea how to adjust the .dds plugin to work with layer groups or to just disable the error window?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

You do not give your operating system so assuming some version of Windows.

The most recent version is from December 2013, and will have been developed and compiled for Gimp 2.8

I use linux, just compiled the code against Gimp 2.9.9 (much the same as Gimp 2.10), several warnings but it compiles.

Trying it out, same error as you get. What you need is the code updated and compiled for you. Most unlikely, the last bug report issue is from 2015. Looks like the plugin is (probably) abandoned.

Best advice. Do not use a layer group mask.

Annoying but a small price to pay.

Thank you for the reply.

Currently I'm using windows 10.

I also downloaded the code to find the place where the "procedure" for the remove mask is called but the c code is too complex for me to understand.  ;D

Is there some kind of debugging method, which can be used?

If you look in the unpacked code, there is an email address in the README file - you could try contacting the author, but it is dated 2012 - which sums it up.

This is a screenshot of compiling in linux, Gimp 2.9.9 just about every call is warning for a deprecated function.

I assume it needs a complete re-write. Amazing that it works at all.
