[Gimp-developer] brush manager

2007-08-19 Thread M Tieleman
With these new cool options for the gimp 2.4, I can't seem to find
information about whether or not there will be a brush manager.
In gimp 2.2, it's getting rather messy in that folder when you have a number
of brushes, it gets hard to organize, plus it seems to add to the time gimp
takes to load.

There is a python script around that provides a kind of brush management, so
you can toggle sets on and off.
Basically it works like this: you have an active brush folder, which is the
directory you tell gimp to load the (extra) brushes from, and there is the
folder where all the brushes, and sets are located. the script creates a
small gui with a list and a checkbox. you check which brushes you want
active, it then copies those to the active brush folder, and after a brush
reload, you have your brushes at your disposal.
Obviously if you uncheck them, the script removes them from the active brush
folder.

I've googled quite a bit, and can't find a thing about brush management,
well, rather a brush manager for the gimp above version 2.2 (which includes
2.4)
I'm rather curious, is a brush manager in the works? that would be a very
nice addition.

AFAIK, no. Feel free to write it after 2.4 :)

There is an open source (hosted by SourceForge) brush manager for
The-Application-I-May-Not-Name-Here, so you have something to look at.

There was a 2006 Google Summer of Code project for this. If it had been
completed, there would be a brush manager in GIMP 2.4, but it wasn't
(the student is not to blame, he focused on something completely
different instead).

Maybe the same project can be proposed for the 2008 GSOC?
