Hello,

Looks like this may be related to missing native X11 support but does anyone know if there is a plugin that allows images to be saved as xpm files in MacOS Sierra? 

Thanks.

AFAIK The XPM export is part of standard Gimp. This     export as:

Code:
/* XPM */
static char * checkers_xpm[] = {
"20 20 2 1",
"     c #000000",
".    c #FEFEFE",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"          ..........",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          ",
"..........          "};
by just using the .xpm extension in the file export file selection dialog.

Not for MacOSX - it doesn't recognize the format and is not one of the listed image formats.  I was hoping that they would address that in a later release but as of 2.10.6, still no Mac XPM support. Thanks, though.

Yes, indeed the source code seems to depend on some Linux-only libs...
