As far as number of copies is concerned, this sounds more like a non-GUI feature. Well, of course it will need a GUI element but adding a single spinbutton shouldn't be a problem. BTW, if someone rewrites the print plug-in GUI, please consider not to use (lengthy) tooltips on each and every widget. This was probably done to improve useability but IMO it makes the plug-in user interface a nightmare to work with (or makes you disable tooltips).

However, there are more blockers than are going to be done in the next week. So we're going to have another release (1.3.21). This should come out sometime during the next week. And the 2.0 pre1 release will be pushed back about 2 weeks, to (give or take) the 15th of October. Is anyone interested in writing a replacement Print plugin, preferably on top of Gimp-Print 4.3, which is basically going alpha (it's still officially development, but that's because of an OS X stopper not related to the GIMP)? A 4.2 plugin would also be of use, but it's getting about time to move people to 4.3. Currently (in the Gimp-Print source), the Print plugin is divided into two components, libgimpprintui (which is a GTK1-based GUI library) and the Print plugin itself (which contains all of the GIMP interface code). It should be possible to rewrite the libgimpprintui library by itself with minimal (hopefully no) changes to the plugin. I'm not much of a UI programmer (which is why the plugin UI is such a mess), and this is really something I'd rather farm out to someone else. I'd like to keep ownership of libgimpprintui within Gimp-Print at least for now, until the API is completely locked down for the next release. I'm certainly willing to maintain the interface into libgimpprint (the Gimp-Print core) against any Gimp-Print API changes that may happen until 4.4 or 5.0 (whichever we decide to name the next stable release). -- Este e-mail é, exceto pelas partes citadas de outros e-mails, copyright(c) de João Sebastião de Oliveira Bueno.
