The Scheme intrpreter used in script-fu it is there because an scheme interpreter is tiny enough to fit inside the source tree. (And for historical reasons as well, of course.) There are no libraries or moduyle to provide the tiny-fu scheme with much outside the GIMP API and some basic file I/O. So, while with unixish systems it is possible to provide a pipe/socket setup to make tiny-fu scripts answer network requests, that is not the way to do it. For doing larger applications, you should use plug-ins in a language that can make full use of libraries and modules manintained outside of the GIMP project. The oficial high level language supported for GIMP plug-ins is Python, and it is easy to make data available via vairous network protocols using Python's standard libraries. There re also gimp bindings for perl (although I think this is currently unmaintained) and ruby should you prefer these languages. js -><- _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
