gimp-file-load

Josh MacDonald

Description

Loads an image file by invoking the right load handler.

Help

This procedure invokes the correct file load handler using magic if possible, and falling back on the file's extension and/or prefix if not. The name of the file to load is typically a full pathname, and the name entered is what the user actually typed before prepending a directory path. The reason for this is that if the user types http://www.xcf/~gimp/ he wants to fetch a URL, and the full pathname will not look like a URL."
