Hi everybody.
I wanted to download the source of some plug-in in c to continue testing the environment that SAMJolie kindly provided yesterday to me and to all of us and I found a site called fossies, where all plug-ins where listed and sources readable(specifically I was looking for: maxrgb.c, and the link is http://fossies.org/dox/gimp-2.8.4/max-r ... ource.html)
Now comes my ignorance: I'm not able to download it in an appropriate form, because if I select the content to save it as text, I get all the prefixes - number of the line...- which obviously are not good for a c source parser.
What should I do to get ONLY the code?
Pls be patient...
(as a browser I normally use Opera, but I have also IE and Chrome id necessary)

I'd recommend getting the file from the official GIMP repository.

Short answer:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/ ... h=gimp-2-8

Long answer:

• Visit the top-level repository at http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/
• Choose your branch (2.8): http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/log/?h=gimp-2-8
• Click on the "Tree" view: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/?h=gimp-2-8
• Navigate to the plug-ins/common directory: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/p ... h=gimp-2-8
• Open the max-rgb.c file: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/p ... h=gimp-2-8
• Switch to "plain" view: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/ ... h=gimp-2-8

Many many thanks!
That's good!

If they are just a C file i normally just save page as and add double quotes, and the .c to the file name.
Never had any issues that way.I have always done this with py, scm scripts also.

Rod, did you have a try on the link I posted? The prefixes are inside, so when you "save as" they come included. If you succeed on saving just the code, tell me.
With the link provided by Saulgoode, you get the "pure" source (and it's official, too...), so it's much better to use it.

Yes thank you , and saulgoode. I bookmarked the site.
