Well, my thinking was a GimpPlugIn class, which a plugin derives from. The class implements the basic GUI itself, and UI elements are tied directly to PDB arguments. This sort of API shakeup is probably something that should happen along with GEGL integration, and would require a fair amount of discussion to nail the details down. So I dunno if that sort of job falls in the scope of the Google thing. > >The hard part is a simple API that handles portable data serialization. > > We have that, don't we? At least, that was my understanding of the > gimprc objects. IIRC, gimpconfig needs an object that implements the GimpConfig interface, so it's not exactly *simple*. -Yosh _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
