ALL it does is execute a command, and IF that executable is there, then it works. the executable is passed some options on the cmdline (filename etc.) and evas expects some output on stdout (which may also indicate a file to mmap or shm segment to mmap to get raw rgba pixel data). the point here is that all loading is farmed off to a slave process that is dumbly executed each time an image needs loading. the binaries are PREFIX/lib/evas/utils/evas_image_loader* (PREFIX being wherever your evas is installed, eg /usr/local). these loader processes can be GPL and not affect the license of libraries and applications that use evas because evas isn't a derivative work - these can be dropped into that directory (or removed) at any time and are developed in isolation to evas. it also mean they can crash all they want and be unstable, and the app using evas is unaffected other than not being able to load that image, unload loader modules that, if unstable, cause the whole app to crash. so to make USE of the generic loader module you need some generic loader binaries. we released those already separately and they are in svn - evas_generic_loaders. they provide loaders for raw, xcf, ps, pdf, as well as a chunk of movie files (mov, avi, etc.) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
