Scripts may rely on the existence of default bitmap brushes as well as parametric ones, so allowing dynamic creation of the brush by name feels far from a generic solution, tho it would be a good feature to have. Having an "api" brushes folder would IMHO be much more cleaner and allow for script creators to make use of it. -- Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
