Problem with gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size

I'm updating my plugin (Indexprint) with a few new options but encountered a weird problem with gimp_layer_resize_to_image command.

A part of the code:

Code: Select all

.
# Load an image as a new layer and scale to image size.
BGLayer = pdb.gimp_file_load_layer(sheetimg, background_image)
pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(sheetimg, BGLayer, -1)
pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(BGLayer) #--works not always, why ????
pdb.gimp_layer_set_opacity(BGLayer, background_image_opacity)
.

The code above works but not every image is scaled. Some images scaled correctly others don't scale at all. My question why not??

From the Gimp api documentation (http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgi ... image-size) I found the following:

Quote:

gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size ()

gboolean gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size (gint32 layer_ID);

Resize a layer to the image size.

This procedure resizes the layer so that it's new width and height are equal to the width and height of its image container.

layer_ID :
The layer to resize.

Returns :
TRUE on success.

As you can see no information explaining my problem or give even a glimp to look at.

So what am I doing wrong????

I don't think this procedure is supposed to scale layers. It just changes the layer's dimensions. What you need is gimp-layer-scale.

I think you are right I will give it a try.

(edit 10/22)
You are right gimp_layer_scale does the job, thank you.
