#1 Cannot load XCF file from regular gimp

[Sam Richards]

It seems like the gimp XCF file format is not
compatable between
gimp-1.2 and filmgimp (in 8 bit mode).

There is no reason not to be able to load and save
those files.

It doesnt appear to work even with filmgimp files, saved out
at 16-bit, 16-bit float or float.

Not quite sure if its due to the data being corrupted or the
file-load being
corrupted.

You can save and then reload an xcf file on irix, which probably
means its a byteswap issue.

There is a bug in writing XCF. I noticed because it won't
compile under VC++. In xcf.c the assignment is 'tmp =
tmp_long;' where 'tmp = *tmp_long;' was probably intended.

static guint
xcf_write_float (FILE *fp,
gfloat *data,
gint count)
{
guint32 tmp;
guint32 *tmp_long;
int i;

if (count > 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
tmp_long = (guint32 *) &data[i];
/*tmp = htonl (*tmp_long);*/
tmp = tmp_long;
xcf_write_int8 (fp, (guint8*) &tmp, 4);
}
}

return count * 4;
}

The xcf filmgimp format does appear to now work on all platforms
but its still not compatable with gimp.
