It works in c as well, exactly as you describe, solving both the problem of getting the document marked dirty, as well as providing a means for undoing it. This it fills in that first hole that i had. dan ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list

From my experiments:
- start an "undo group": this marks the image "dirty"
- attach an "undoable" parasite
- end the undo group and exit
At that point if you list the parasites you find the one that was added
If you then Ctrl-Z and list the parasites the added parasite is gone.
Actual Python code used in the Pyhon console:
>>> # Assumes you have only a single image loaded
>>> image=gimp.image_list()[0]
>>> # when you enter the line below, the title bar gets an '*'
indicating a dirty image
>>> image.undo_group_start()
>>> Check dirtiness with API
>>> image.dirty
True
>>> p=gimp.Parasite('foo',PARASITE_UNDOABLE,'bar')
>>> image.parasite_attach(p)
>>> image.undo_group_end()
>>> image.parasite_list()
('gimp-comment', 'jpeg-settings', 'foo')
>>> Now undo with Ctrl-Z in the image window, and retest the parasites:
>>> image.parasite_list()
('gimp-comment', 'jpeg-settings')

Your method sounds like it should work, and i absolutely have to be able to read and write pixels in order for my plugin to do what i want. Now, for the limited purpose of just having the image show up as dirty when metadata is written as a parasite, i eventually discovered that it suffices to pass in the flag GIMP_PARASITE_UNDOABLE in when the parasite is created by gimp_parasite_new(). And the comments in the internals (gimpimage.c) advise you to never call (in all caps) gimp_image_dirty() directly, and that instead, push an undo operation on the stack. It makes sense i guess, and certainly explains why there seems to be no external interface to directly set the image dirty. So that leaves me with two holes. One is that although i've declared my parasite to be undoable, i haven't provided any means to actually undo it. So that's kind of bad, although the parasite info is not the main event that i hope to do in my plugin. The other hole is that i find that so far i cannot read and write a pixel. The obvious looking calls, for example, as used in the basic tutorial https://developer.gimp.org/writing-a-plug-in/2/index.html, are now marked deprecated. So to properly do this simple operation of reading and writing a pixel, one should go through the gegl interface. That i have not done, but obviously i need to. Anyhow, thanks again for your help, and if you or anybody knows of some easy tutorials on using the gegl apparatus, please let me know and tia.

[Gimp-developer] marking a document/image as dirty/changed in a plugin
I'm writing a plugin that adds some metadata to an image (gimp document). The metadata is added as a "parasite". I can see in the api, libgimp/gimpimage_pdb.h, how you can test if an image is dirty, via gimp_image_is_dirty(image_id). I can also see how you can mark an image as clean (gimp_image_clean_all(image_id). But i don't see how you can mark an image as dirty. I would like to do this so that if you attempt to close an image without saving, gimp will ask you to save your image first. I'm adding the metadata using gimp_image_attach_parasite( image_id, parasite). I'm using the c interface, although i imagine any language will face similar issues. I'm using gimp 2.10.8 on debian 10. Thanks in advance for any info or advice. dan ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
