vonhalenbach on IRC was using GIMP 2.2 and Python 2.5.1 and found that his generated sif output was ending after 20 lines:

19    <param name="canvas">
20      <canvas xres="10.000000" yres="10.000000">

whereas for me (with Python 2.5.2 and Gimp 2.4.5) it continues:

19    <param name="canvas">
20      <canvas xres="10.000000" yres="10.000000">
21        <layer type="import" active="true" version="0.1" desc="Background.png">
22          <param name="z_depth">
23            [...]

Yes, this script was writen for 2.4.*. I have no 2.2.* to test it. So I'll try to fix this problem if you give me information from gimp-2.2.* console with backtrace. --AkhIL 12:42, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

TypeError: gimp.Layer.__init__() takes exactly 7 arguments (5 given)

http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/synfigexport.py is a fixed version. In GIMP 2.2, all the arguments to Layer.__init__ are required, so I specify the opacity and blend method. -- dooglus 16:39, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

Patch is merged. Thank you --AkhIL 20:01, 26 April 2008 (EDT)
