[Gimp-developer] Any examples for gimp-progress-install?

2010-10-30 Thread Gino D
Hi.

I would like to precisely understand how the gimp-progress-install
procedure works; sorry, I have tried to see the source code for this
purpose, but I am still not very experienced in reading and managing
it, and I have some difficulty in figuring out what a
progress-callback exactly represents.

More than anything, I am interested in knowing in which cases and for
what purposes the aforesaid procedure (as well as related commands,
such as gimp-progress-uninstall and gimp-progress-cancel) could be
used within scripts. Can you give me some examples?

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to use these procedures from scripts.

Their purpose is to allow plug-ins to install their own UI for
displaying progress information from other procedures. The Script-Fu
extension uses it for example to redirect progress information from a
script to the progress-bar in the script dialog window.
