Hello Marco,
some days i run trid on GIMP animated brush, that have
file name extension gih. Such files are not recognized and often
described as "Unknown!" ( see appended output/trid-old.txt).
So i run tridscan on dozen of examples. Some information about such
brushes is found on fileformats archiveteam website. This is expressed
by line:
<RefURL>
http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/GIMP_Animated_Brush</RefURL>
According to that information i cleaned up Global strings section to
contains only lines
<String>CONSTANT RANK0</String>
<String>PLACEMENT</String>
<String>CELLHEIGHT</String>
<String>CELLWIDTH</String>
<String>DIM</String>
<String>ROWS</String>
<String>NCELLS</String>
<String>COLS</String>
<String>GIMP</String>
<String>SEL0</String>
<String>STEP</String>
The refined definition file gimp-gih.trid.xml contains in FrontBlock
section only one XML construct:
<Bytes>000000</Bytes>
<Pos>1308</Pos>
According to reference site there should not exist a specific byte
pattern at a fixed offset. So i tried to cleanup definition file by
adding more samples by a command like
tridscan.py -fs -d gimp-gih.trid.xml more\brush_dan2.gih
But program executes and and ends with an error message like
TrIDScan/Py v2.02 - (C) 2015-2016 By M.Pontello
File(s) to scan found: 1
Scanning for patterns...
Checking file 1/1 'more\brush_dan2.gih'
tridscan.py: Error: no patterns found!
The same error occurs when i try to add other brush examples inside
"more" sub directory.
Then i try to refine definition file by deleting pattern inside
FrontBlock section manually which results in gimp-gih-2.trid.xml.
But after packing the XML file by TrIDDefsPack the resulting TRD file
does produce only output with "Unknown!" description.
So what is wrong? Please can you try to generate a working definition
definition file for GIMP animated brushes? TrID definitions affords,
some examples and output are stored in archive gih.zip
Thanks in advance
