Sounds great. Import, export, editing, file format, metadata and sychronization are all possible plug-in entry points. The ImageFile code is meant to be trivially converted into a plugable system. The main issue with export as a plug in is dealing with the ui a sane way that avoids the gimp giant menu trap but also isn't too limiting on what sort of UI the plug-in can present to the user. I've given it a fair amount of thought, I'll try to write down what I've come up with in the next couple of days as i prepare for guadec. --Larry _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
