Is the GIMP 2.9 XCF file format? API? (not sure what the right phrase is)
stable enough that it makes sense to hope that other applications like
digiKam and various other file browsers and image viewers could start showing
thumbnails?
For example, digiKam can create thumbnails for 2.8 XCF files but not for 2.9
XCF files.
I'd like to ask the digiKam devs to provide support for showing a thumbnail
for GIMP 2.9 XCF files. But if the XCF files are likely to change
substantially before 2.10 is released, maybe now is not a good time.
Digikam actually has't got to implement anything itself for that to work. The thumbnails are generated by KIO plugin, the full image view by QImageIO plugins. Check git://anongit.kde.org/kimageformats for the imageio plugins (I should move the Krita imageio plugins there...) and https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kio-extras.git&a=tree&h=d2127aa55d72bfde4c269c75a91a721159548ff6&hb=3d8409f93830cb9bf658bd0648b7b1db3dd5c684&f=thumbnail for the thumbnailers.
