While working on MR !230 I noticed that the options read I entered into several plugins could not be read after reading the image.
**The patch fixes problems reading options in plugins and adds option checking in the readtest.cpp.**
In particular, the reading test does the following additional actions:
- reads options before reading the image;
- compare the options read with the options returned by the reader after reading the image;
- compares the format and size of the returned image with the format and size returned by the reader.
- Added Size and Format options support
- Fixed a double image allocation when reading RGBA images (RGB was always allocated and then replaced by RGBA one)
- Fixed the code for sequential devices
The Size option is used by the KIO 5 thumbnailer to avoid to use too memory. A backport to KF5 would serve CCBUG: 413801 and CCBUG: 479612
According to relicensecheck Brad is OK with changing LGPLv2 to LGPLv2+,
which is required to be compatible with the LGPL-2.1-or-later licensed
source files.
Frameworks have a convention of naming uninstalled headers in src/ with
a _p at the end of the name, to make it clear they are not part of the
API. None of the headers in KImageFormats are installed, so it is not
really necessary to follow this convention, but we follow it anyway for
the benefit of both humans and tools (like kapidox).
