Then, with some experience, do the same change for 1.2. Until now we haven't come around to do so. Perhaps we should indeed consider to update gimp-print in the stable branch. How do you suggest should we proceed? Should we depend on libgimpprint or would it be a good idea to ship gimp-1.2.4 with the whole thing? I'd much rather you link to libgimpprint, and I thought that that's what we had decided. The 4.2.1 version of the plugin, which is presumably what you'd use, had no changes whatsoever over 4.2.0; that code base is rock stable. 4.2.2 will offer a useful quality upgrade (a new dither algorithm) for people printing photos, but that will be a library-only upgrade. 4.2.3 may require a plugin upgrade to get some new functionality that we're discussing, but the 4.2.0 plugin will work with 4.2.3, it just won't have that new functionality. One option might be to distribute Gimp-print as an extra (mirror the distribution of the latest 4.2 release). -- Robert Krawitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for Gimp Print/stp -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
