inspired by this mail, Michael J. Hammel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
adapted this code to the 1.2 API. You can find this version at

 ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/contrib/gimp_plugin_preview-0.29.1.tar.gz

So if anyone wants to have a look at porting this stuff to 1.3, this
should be a good starting point.

Re: [Gimp-developer] TODOs for GIMP-1.3

2002-02-12 Thread Sven Neumann 

Hi,

following up to myself, some more things TODO I forgot to mention in
my last mail:

IMO the menu structure would benefit from a well-planned overhaul.  If
someone feels annoyed enough by the current situation, he / she could
try to come up with a proposal for a better menu hierarchy.  We have
done this before several times and I think it always got better, so we
should prolly do it again in this development cycle.

Related to the menus, we also need a concept for accelerator keys in
GIMP-1.4. I think it should be possible to come up with a consistent
set of accelerators for the whole application. At the moment we have
different accelerators depending on whether the the image or the
layers dialog is focused. That should be avoided if possible. This
definitely needs some thought to get it right.

I'd also like to remove TODO.xml and TODO from the source tree and put
all feature requests into bugzilla. Someone would have to go through
TODO and file bug-reports for all reasonable ideas in there. We can
then decide if and when we want to implement the feature and set a
suitable target milestone on the request.

[Gimp-developer] TODOs for GIMP-1.3

2002-02-12 Thread Sven Neumann 

Hi,

surely a lot of people want to help with GIMP-1.3 but don't know where
to start. I'd like to point you to some places that list TODOs for
GIMP-1.3.

First, we have TODO.xml which is in CVS and available online at:

  http://developer.gimp.org/gimp-todo.html

Then, there's Bugzilla which can be queried for bugs with the
1.3.x target milestone. That query at the moment gives this
nice list:

  68846  gimp-1.3.2 gimp_tips.*.txt is written by encoding depending
  67035  Compile error against newest PDL (2.3.1) -- I have a fix
  67386  RAND_FUNC, G_MAXRAND confusion

  5673   Restore original keybindings
  64148  Add a keyboard shortcut for generating thumbnails
  52374  Some plugins lack a previewarea


One project I'd particulary love to see tackled is plug-in previews.
There should really be a generic preview widget that works for most
filter plug-ins. This an often requested feature and it would improve
user-friendliness a lot. There is some (pretty old) code that could
serve as a basis for development or at least give some ideas:

 ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/users/amundson/gimp_plugin_preview-0.29.tar.gz


We also need some artists to draw nice images for our user interface.
We need new icons, we'd like a new image for the about dialog that has
some space to add credits (see also bug #58507). A new splash would be
nice, a more eeeky Wilber for the "Really Quit" dialog and so
on... Please note that we can use real alpha-transparent images now
and we should make use of this.


So if you want to help out, please speak up here so we can coordinate
efforts.


Salut, Sven
