Task 828: .XCF File Format

Task 828: .XCF File Format

1. Updated List of Properties

Based on the detailed specification, the list of properties has been refined to match the canonical documentation. Note that all integers are big-endian, and some properties are version-specific. The list excludes deprecated or undocumented ones not in the spec, but includes all defined PROP_* from 0 to 42 as per the extraction.

  • PROP_END = 0
  • PROP_COLORMAP = 1
  • PROP_ACTIVE_LAYER = 2
  • PROP_ACTIVE_CHANNEL = 3
  • PROP_SELECTION = 4
  • PROP_FLOATING_SELECTION = 5
  • PROP_OPACITY = 6
  • PROP_MODE = 7
  • PROP_VISIBLE = 8
  • PROP_LINKED = 9
  • PROP_LOCK_ALPHA = 10
  • PROP_APPLY_MASK = 11
  • PROP_EDIT_MASK = 12
  • PROP_SHOW_MASK = 13
  • PROP_SHOW_MASKED = 14
  • PROP_OFFSETS = 15
  • PROP_COLOR = 16
  • PROP_COMPRESSION = 17
  • PROP_GUIDES = 18
  • PROP_RESOLUTION = 19
  • PROP_TATTOO = 20
  • PROP_PARASITES = 21
  • PROP_UNIT = 22
  • PROP_PATHS = 23
  • PROP_USER_UNIT = 24
  • PROP_VECTORS = 25
  • PROP_TEXT_LAYER_FLAGS = 26
  • PROP_LOCK_CONTENT = 28
  • PROP_GROUP_ITEM = 29 (indicates layer group)
  • PROP_ITEM_PATH = 30
  • PROP_GROUP_ITEM_FLAGS = 31
  • PROP_LOCK_POSITION = 32
  • PROP_FLOAT_OPACITY = 33
  • PROP_COLOR_TAG = 34
  • PROP_COMPOSITE_MODE = 35
  • PROP_COMPOSITE_SPACE = 36
  • PROP_BLEND_SPACE = 37
  • PROP_FLOAT_COLOR = 38
  • PROP_SAMPLE_POINTS = 39
  • PROP_LOCK_VISIBILITY = 42 (added from spec; some IDs skipped in previous list)

Properties can appear in image, layer, or channel contexts. Compression (17) is image-level and applies to all tiles.

Unchanged:

3. Updated Ghost Blog Embedded HTML JavaScript

Updated to handle version parsing, pointer size (32/64-bit for v11+), precision (v4+), full property parsing for all types, hierarchy parsing (bpp, levels, tile counts/sizes), and basic RLE decompression (zlib skipped as browser lacks native support without libs). Dumps more detailed info.

XCF Property Dumper
Drag and drop .XCF file here

4. Updated Python Class

Updated to handle version, pointer size, precision, full property parsing, hierarchy/level/tile info, RLE and zlib decompression (using zlib), and prints decoded tile data summary. Write method creates a simple XCF with one layer and uncompressed tile data.
