GIMP VTF PLUG-IN 1.2.1 Tom Edwards, 19th May 2012 ******************************* To install, extract both the EXE and DLL to your GIMP plug-ins folder. This is typically at C:\Users\<USER>\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\. If you prefer, there is also a plug-ins folder in your main GIMP installation. This is at <gimp install dir>\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\. To get the latest version of the plugin and download source code visit <http://code.google.com/p/gimp-vtf/>. Changes ******* 1.2.1 * Fixed errors on Windows XP 1.2 * Upgraded to GIMP 2.8 * Added 64-bit support * Now saves top-level layer groups to separate VTF files. Store albedos, bumps, masks, and anything else in the same XCF! * Export settings are now remembered after GIMP is closed * Now writes I8/IA8 if the image is grayscale and the user wants an uncompressed format * Fixed non-localised layer names when loading animated VTFs * Removed HDR pixel formats. Neither GIMP nor VTFLib support this yet. 1.1 * Upgraded to VTFLib 1.3.2 for VTF 7.5 support * Each open image now has its own save settings * Save settings are now filled in when loading a VTF * Flags not covered by the UI are now preserved when saving an opened file * Added a simplified format selection (do you want compression, do you want alpha) * Added options to save with LOD disabled, Clamping and/or the Bump/SSBump flags * Added a VTF version option when saving * Added LOD Control setting (human-configurable!) * Added explanatory tooltips * Added localisation support (no actual translations, but creating them is now possible) * Fixed errors when saving an image after its designated alpha layer has been removed * Fixed error when alpha layer doesn't fit the image * Graceful out-of-memory handling 1.0.4 * Fixed embarrassing error when saving a single-frame image. It took 300 downloads to get one bug report... 1.0.3 * Fixed errors when saving grayscale or indexed images * Layers are now resized and offset as appropriate when saved as frames/faces/slices 1.0.2 * Fixed GIMP error report on toggling "Use layer as alpha channel" when there are no suitable layers * Further tweaks to format list: wierder options removed, remainder better sorted * Corrected reported alpha bits for BGRA4444 * Renamed "Compression" header to "Pixel format", as only the DXTs are really compressed 1.0.1 * Fixed save failure when using the only layer in the image as the alpha channel (can no longer do this) * Fixed error messages not making it from the file loader to GIMP * Sorted format list so that all the DXTs are at the top * Corrected alpha bit depth for RGBA16161616(F) * Code elegance, and fixed VS post-build event for users not called Tom
