Hi there - You'd have to write a gimp-plug-in that acts like a "listener" bound to a tcp socket, http, named pipe or something, and then initiate gimp-actions in it from an external process. That is either that or starting gimp with no display, passing a script-fu command to call the desired plug-in at each use. (which is what inskcape's xcf import Mathew talks about does) Fortunatellya GIMP "listener" plug-in isin python is nto a hard thing to do., Ihave a nive http implementation of one. Try and download it from http://www.pion.com.br/~gwidion/logo_server.zip best wishes. js -><- > > Hi, don't consider my answer definitive, but I believe there is.
