gimp_file_load (1997)

NAME

gimp_file_load - Loads a file by extension.

SYNOPSIS

image = gimp_file_load (run_mode,filename,raw_filename)

DESCRIPTION

This procedure invokes the correct file load handler according to the file's extension and/or prefix. 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.
