- Most people associated with gdk-pixbuf would like to see it have
simple save capabilities. That may or may not include Federico,
the maintainer.
Until gdk-pixbuf is distributed with GTK+, I'm not too inclined to
beat Federico over the head on the matter. (Especially since he
can beat me over the head back harder for things I'm behind on
on gdk-pixbuf.)
- You should consider the first API of gdk-pixbuf to be pretty much locked
in now, so this is unlikely to get in before the next major release -
which will presumably be the release with GTK+-1.4
- You need to provide a patch against gdk-pixbuf for us to be able to
evaluate the patch. A little library that just links against
gdk-pixbuf is not close enough to a final patch to meaningfully
comment on, since there shouldn't be separate modules for saving,
in my opinion.
