                                                         GParamFlags flags);

Creates a param spec to hold a filename, dir name, or list of file or dir names. See g_param_spec_internal() for more information.

gimp_param_spec_config_path_type ()

GimpConfigPathType  gimp_param_spec_config_path_type    (GParamSpec *pspec);

Tells whether the path param encodes a filename, dir name, or list of file or dir names.

gimp_config_path_expand ()

gchar *             gimp_config_path_expand             (const gchar *path,
                                                         gboolean recode,
                                                         GError **error);

Paths as stored in the gimprc have to be treated special. The string may contain special identifiers such as for example ${gimp_dir} that have to be substituted before use. Also the user's filesystem may be in a different encoding than UTF-8 (which is what is used for the gimprc). This function does the variable substitution for you and can also attempt to convert to the filesystem encoding.

gimp_config_build_data_path ()

gchar *             gimp_config_build_data_path         (const gchar *name);

Creates a search path as it is used in the gimprc file. The path returned by gimp_config_build_data_path() includes a directory below the user's gimp directory and one in the system-wide data directory.

Note that you cannot use this path directly with gimp_path_parse(). As it is in the gimprc notation, you first need to expand and recode it using gimp_config_path_expand().

Since GIMP 2.4

gimp_config_build_writable_path ()

gchar *             gimp_config_build_writable_path     (const gchar *name);

Creates a search path as it is used in the gimprc file. The path returned by gimp_config_build_writable_path() is just the writable parts of the search path constructed by gimp_config_build_data_path().

Note that you cannot use this path directly with gimp_path_parse(). As it is in the gimprc notation, you first need to expand and recode it using gimp_config_path_expand().

Since GIMP 2.4

gimp_config_build_plug_in_path ()

gchar *             gimp_config_build_plug_in_path      (const gchar *name);

Creates a search path as it is used in the gimprc file. The path returned by gimp_config_build_plug_in_path() includes a directory below the user's gimp directory and one in the system-wide plug-in directory.

Note that you cannot use this path directly with gimp_path_parse(). As it is in the gimprc notation, you first need to expand and recode it using gimp_config_path_expand().
