Besides - you have to check what makes more sense - I't think Palette exporting/importing plug-ins have to be on the Palletes context menu
My basic design is going to be as follows: - Add a procedure to register a palette loader There is no such thing as a "palette loader" - but there are plug-ins that are registered under thhe "Palette" context menu. Ther is a sub-menu named "Export as..." - I think a loader should be under <palette>/Import/<title>" This procedure will check that registered procedure take an int32 and two strings and return a palette. The args are the same as those for the image importer, and the return is a palette instead of an image. If it is a Python script, maybe you prefer using "PF_FILE" instead of a string - that allows you to programatically pass a file path, but the automatic Python-fu interface would open a nice file dialog to use your plug-in directly. - Write a python (or other language) procedure to implement that interface. Python recomended - some of the options in the Pallete context menu are already in Python, copy one of them and it will be easier for you to make your own. And finally -as noted in the other e-mail I sent: the returend "PF_PALETTE" is a string, but a string corresponding to a unique name palette in GIMP, which is used as ID for all Palette related PDB calls. js -><- On 6 September 2013 15:24, Jon Nordby <jono...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 6 September 2013 19:11, Chris Mohler <cr33...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 11:30 PM, Warren Turkal <w...@penguintechs.org> wrote: >>> Just so you all know, this actually started with my wife wanting to import >>> *.ase palettes in . >> >> >> Back to your main question: unless I'm out of touch, I believe all of >> the file loader plugins need to be written in C.
