TYPO3 Core

I have build a dynamic Gifbuilder-Image on that I want to apply a dynamic Mask.

If you want to add a dynamic mask ob an IMAGE-Object, this is no issue:

10 = IMAGE
10.file = test.png
10.mask.import.cObject = GIFBUILDER
10.mask.import.cObject { # apply any dynamic mask build using GIFBUILDER
}

Doing the same into GIFBUILDER is NOT possible:

10 = IMAGE
10.file = GIFBUILDER
10.file {
XY = [10.w],[10.h]

10 = IMAGE
  10.file = test.png
  10.mask.import.cObject = GIFBUILDER
  10.mask.import.cObject {
     # apply any dynamic mask build using GIFBUILDER
     # HERE IT WILL FAIL!
   }
}

I found this error on TYPO3 4.4 on a new Web-Project.

I tracked the problem back to gifbuilder:

class.tslib_gifbuilder.php on Line 225 (where IMAGE is defined):

--[ CODE: start ]--
if ($conf['mask']) { # image processing
[...]
}
--[ CODE: end ]--

This cannot work because the "import" on "mask.import.cObject" will be defined with a "dot" after 'mask'.

I made a patch that corrects this behaviour. The CODE Line above will simply be replace by the following code. Now even an empty mask-Object with "import" will be processed (verifyied to work).

--[ CODE: start ]--
if ($conf['mask'] || $conf['mask.']) {
--[ CODE: end ]--

PATCH ATTACHED ;-)

This seems to be a Bug! I've not tested if this bug is also present in recent TYPO3 Versions!
