Just one issue. This "Future of the GIMP" paper doesn't say anyting about
GNOME integration. I think this is an important issue. I know that GIMP wants
to be plataform independent (just now KDE/GNOME independent, because other
Unix vendors as HP-UX, Solaris and AIX are dropping CDE towards GNOME), but
GNOME optional support will be very interesting. For example:
* Drag & Drop file management and image management
* Export GIMP as a control and open your image inside OppenOffice with
the GIMP
* Use Red Carpet to update plugins via bonobo:
Bonobo_Control control;
GtkWidget *widget;
control = bonobo_get_object ("redcarpet:", "IDL:Bonobo/Control:1.0")
widget = bonobo_widget_new_from_control (control);
With this we can have a software/plugins distribution system,
without write any line of code about http, rpm, apt, etc....
Please, comments...
