Hi,

sorry for the late reply, I have been on vacation and I am slowly
catching up on the emails now...

I don't think libgimpmath is of much use for plug-in authors using
Python.

Can you tell us which GIMP widgets are problematic?

You can already do that in GNOME. Drag the image preview from the
toolbox (you need to enable the image preview there in the Preferences
dialog) to the GNOME desktop or to the file manager and the image will
be saved there. The protocol to do this is called XDS and GIMP supports
it since version 2.4.

Then this is the problem that needs to be addressed instead of adding
yet another complex tool. The idea we are following to speed up these
things is to make GIMP work on a scaled-down version of your image for
preview. The actual full-scale image processing can then be done in the
background and there's no need for the user to wait for it to be
completed. This is a long-term goal of the GEGL integration. There's
still a lot to do, both in GEGL and in GIMP, before we are there. But I
think we should concentrate on that instead of following your proposal.
