To my estimation it would be great if a readable series of transformations
would always be recorded. But I am not knowledgeable about the code of Gimp. -
Since the GUI just figures out necessary parameters, e.g. the box coordinates
for a crop operation, the creation of layers and all other operations done with
them, finally it has to call them all with those parameters substituted into
the parameters of the functions themselves. I expect there already is or should
be relatively few places, where the function names and the parameters could
exist in a string per function call. This would be the right place to record
them. If the operation is jut an undo operation, it would be the right place to
also remove the last item from the stack of operations.
I think, there must be some mechanism of this kind already in Gimp- or how
else"undoes" Gimp its operations if told to do so? Does it really save each
completeintermediatestep on a stack in order to undo operations?
Such a recording of functions might even include calls to plugin functions
provided they don't run dialogues themselves: if they are just invoked, their
invocation (plus any parameters, if they are also handed down) might not only
be used for calling the operational part of the extension, but also to save
their names and parameters just for documentation purposes.
However for extensions which run their own interactive dialogues, an interface
to push another "real function call with parameters" becomes necessary to make
such a feature universally feasible.
