List layers without loading image?

[ChameleonScales]

I found how to also print whether each layer contains a mask or not (by myself!).

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys

PROP_ACTIVE_LAYER = 2
PROP_VISIBLE      = 8
if __name__ == "__main__":
    filename = sys.argv[1]
    # open the file in readonly binary mode
    with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
        # go to the 30th bytes
        f.seek(30, 0)
        # read properties
        while True:
            prop_type = int.from_bytes(f.read(4), "big")
            prop_size = int.from_bytes(f.read(4), "big")
            f.read(prop_size)
            if prop_type == 0: #PROP_END
                break
        # read layers
        while True:
            next_layer_offset = int.from_bytes(f.read(8), "big")
            if not next_layer_offset: #end of layers offsets
                break;
            saved_pos = f.tell()
            f.seek(next_layer_offset + 12, 0)
            name_len = int.from_bytes(f.read(4), "big")
            name0 = f.read(name_len).decode("utf-8")
            name = name0.replace('\0', '')
            print()
            print(name)
            while True:
                prop_type = int.from_bytes(f.read(4), "big")
                prop_size = int(int.from_bytes(f.read(4), "big") / 4)
                #print(prop_type, "size", prop_size)
                for i in range(prop_size):
                    lastint = int.from_bytes(f.read(4), "big")
                if prop_type == PROP_VISIBLE:
                    print("Visi: %x" % lastint)
                elif prop_type == PROP_ACTIVE_LAYER:
                    print("Active")
                elif prop_type == 0: #PROP_END
                    break
            # hierarchy pointer:
            hptr = int.from_bytes(f.read(8), "big")
            # mask pointer:
            mptr = int.from_bytes(f.read(8), "big")
            if mptr == 0:
                has_mask = 0
            else:
                has_mask = 1
            print("Mask: " + str(has_mask))
            f.seek(saved_pos, 0)

To recap on how to use this script in case anyone's lost, run it like this in the terminal:

Code:

./script.py "path/to/my.xcf"
