Hi, I have added a plug-in to the registry (http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=4177) that some may find useful: it does edge detection using the difference of Gaussians method, which is widely used in computational vision. Basically it works by calculating two Gaussian blurs with different

[Gimp-developer] three minor issues concerning parasites

2004-05-14 Thread William Skaggs
1) When the jpeg loader finds EXIF data, it creates a parasite called jpeg-exif-data. EXIF data is not specific to jpeg files, though, and having differently named parasites for tiff-exif-data, etc, makes things unnecessarily difficult, as far as I can see. Can this be renamed as simply

[Gimp-developer] conflict between 2.0 and 2.1

Hi, I'd like to bring up what appears to be a conflict between 2.0 and 2.1 that will become relevant as soon as a tarball of 2.1 is released. Building 2.1 causes the version info in pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc to be set to 2.1. This means that any plug-in built thereafter will be installed in 2.1,
