On Sun, 6 Jan 2013 10:46:01 -0800 (PST) mk <[email protected]> said: evas_generic_loaders provides a set of external executables in PREFIX/lib/evas/utils (probably /usr for PREFIX for you). thexe executables are run to load an image via pipes and shared memory. this basically externalises loading to a drop-in binary and so addresses 2 issues. 1. stability of loader - if loaders crash a lot - then it doesnt take the pp down too. and 2. GPL. since now a loader is its own binary in a drop-in services simply that adds new formats (no binary, no format support), it doesnt make the apps using evas GPL.
in this "utils" dir u'll find binaires (and symlinks to binaries). the symlinks you may notice seem to indicate the extensions of files that are handled. there is a "raw" loader. it uses libraw. libraw is GPL. *IF* evas_generic_loaders was compiled with libraw support there will be a evas_image_loader.raw and several symlinks pointing to it.. including evas_image_loader.orf - ie olympus raw files. if you have this raw loader (and appropriate symlinks pointing to it) AND libraw supports your raw format... then this should all work. it's a bit slower than the standard loader module path due to needing to fork+exec, but it should work... but as mentioned several times.. with the caveat that the generic loaders were built with raw support (the ALSO support loading xcf files, pdf files, ps files, svg files AND pretty much every video file format around (avi/mov/mpg etc.) via gstreamer (if gst supports it). > ----- Original Message ----- > From: David Seikel <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Cc: > Sent: Sunday, January 6, 2013 9:16:54 AM > Subject: Re: [e-users] Question regarding efm > > On Sun, 6 Jan 2013 05:50:05 -0800 (PST) mk <[email protected]> wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Cedric BAIL <[email protected]> > > To: Enlightenment users discussion & support > > <[email protected]> Cc: > > Sent: Saturday, January 5, 2013 9:33:48 PM > > Subject: Re: [e-users] Question regarding efm > > > > Hello, > > > > On Sun, Jan 6, 2013 at 6:23 AM, mk <[email protected]> wrote: > > > E17 > > > is the best.
