gimp_temp_name ()

gchar*      gimp_temp_name                  (gchar *extension);

Generates a unique filename.

Generates a unique filename using the temp path supplied in the user's gimprc.

`extension` :	The extension the file will have.
Returns :	The new temp filename.

gimp_file_load ()

gint32      gimp_file_load                  (GimpRunModeType run_mode,
                                             gchar *filename,
                                             gchar *raw_filename);

Loads a file by extension.

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.

`run_mode` :	The run mode.
`filename` :	The name of the file to load.
`raw_filename` :	The name entered.
Returns :	The output image.

gimp_file_save ()

gboolean    gimp_file_save                  (GimpRunModeType run_mode,
                                             gint32 image_ID,
                                             gint32 drawable_ID,
                                             gchar *filename,
                                             gchar *raw_filename);

Saves a file by extension.

This procedure invokes the correct file save handler according to the file's extension and/or prefix. The name of the file to save 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/ she wants to fetch a URL, and the full pathname will not look like a URL.

`run_mode` :	The run mode.
`image_ID` :	Input image.
`drawable_ID` :	Drawable to save.
`filename` :	The name of the file to save the image in.
`raw_filename` :	The name of the file to save the image in.
Returns :	TRUE on success.

Registers a file load handler procedure.

Registers a procedural database procedure to be called to load files of a particular file format using magic file information.

`prefixes` :	comma separated list of prefixes this handler can load (i.e. \"http:,ftp:\").
`magics` :	comma separated list of magic file information this handler can load (i.e. \"0,string,GIF\").
Returns :	TRUE on success.

gimp_register_load_handler ()

gboolean    gimp_register_load_handler      (gchar *procedure_name,
                                             gchar *extensions,
