The problem is that the developer only specifies abstract parameters with no GUI whatsoever, it's a flat list and script-fu generates the GUI automatically. > at that point GIMP can offer: > > 1) building blocks to reduce what needs to be shown at once > (tabs, expander sections) or vertically (multi-column) > 2) tutorials and style guides for script writers how to > use less fields in dialogs, and how to use the things from 1) That would be really nice if there was a way to add meta information for GUI building attached to the script, the exactly same problem exists with GEGL ops and we have a solution in mind where each parameter/property can have arbitrary name/value pairs attached. The system is in place, we just need to define names/values for GIMP to parse and make a GUI from. For Script-Fu, there is no such system, and until there is, I think there is not much else we can do but let the contents scroll if there are too many parameters, in order to make the dialog usable at all.
