Sven,
I am here working, though slowly, on the programable layer mode,
which I proposed when I first joined the list.
It's not such a small change, since adding layer modes breaks the
cross-reading of .xcf files.
So what I need to know now is:
- If I deliver a partially working patch by next week, could it be
included before the feature freeze?
- Else, I think the proper moment to bring it up would be when the
new GIMP file save format, which is on topic nowadays, would be
implemented. Could that be 2.2 ?
Or do we have a chance of having this new file format in 2.0?
If yes, I think it could be done in a way that new layer formats could
be made not to break badly the backwards compatibility.
Thanks.
