I wasn't previously aware of this proposal (no mention of it in the wiki and I thought I was on the bug CC list but apparently not) but I eventually found a patch by Akkana which I assume is the one to which you are referring. bug report on menu reorganistion: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116145 Patch by Akkanna to get things started: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=46852&action=view > The proposed patch can be improved but it is a good start.

It will be a big improvement to have things grouped by what they do rather than how they do it. I think it is worth mentioning though that Adobe Photoshop didn't even attempt this and instead they copped out and buried their scripts in a seperate Actions dialog, so it may be difficult to keep things managable as people want to add more and more extensions (but I still think the patch is a very good and necessary first step). http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpMenuReorganization I was thinking fo doing something similar for the python plugins (and making sure to add ellipses where needed). However some of the python plugins duplicate existing functionality so putting two Clothify plugins beside each other would only confuse users. I see Akkanna tackled this by marking the Script-Fu unsharp as "Unsharp 2" but if people have idea on how to tackle this duplication of functionality I would be interested to hear it. (I must say when it comes to learning to port scripts to python I found it very helpful to have similar examples written in a different language) plugin written . One possible way to disambiguate similar plugins might be to give them different menu icons but expect you can probably come up with something better than that.
