◆ pidgin_pixbuf_new_from_file()

GdkPixbuf * pidgin_pixbuf_new_from_file ( const char *  filename)

Helper function that calls gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() and checks both the return code and the GError and returns NULL if either one failed.

The gdk-pixbuf documentation implies that it is sufficient to check the return value of gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() to determine whether the image was able to be loaded. However, this is not the case with gdk-pixbuf 2.23.3 and probably many earlier versions. In some cases a GdkPixbuf object is returned that will cause some operations (like gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple()) to rapidly consume memory in an infinite loop.

This function shouldn't be necessary once Pidgin requires a version of gdk-pixbuf where the aforementioned bug is fixed. However, it might be nice to keep this function around for the debug message that it logs.

Parameters
filenameName of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding
Returns
The GdkPixbuf if successful. Otherwise NULL is returned and a warning is logged.
Since
2.9.0

◆ pidgin_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale()

GdkPixbuf * pidgin_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale ( const char *  filename,

int  height,
gboolean  preserve_aspect_ratio 
)

Helper function that calls gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale() and checks both the return code and the GError and returns NULL if either one failed.

The gdk-pixbuf documentation implies that it is sufficient to check the return value of gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale() to determine whether the image was able to be loaded.

This function shouldn't be necessary once Pidgin requires a version of gdk-pixbuf where the aforementioned bug is fixed. However, it might be nice to keep this function around for the debug message that it logs.

Parameters
filenameName of file to load, in the GLib file name encoding
widthThe width the image should have or -1 to not constrain the width
heightThe height the image should have or -1 to not constrain the height
preserve_aspect_ratioTRUE to preserve the image's aspect ratio
