Hi all,
chiming in here (getting back to speed).
There are some traits that make Bill's idea obsolete. First one
is the hierarchical organisation of resources. A tagging system
allows multiple ways to find a resource again (instead of a unique
one) by attaching many different properties to it (a

And, to repeat, even if there is tags support, there must be,
at least from the user's point of view, something like a workspace --

Sure. That is the set of brushes that match

At the level of programming, the only relatively difficult thing is to
create the GimpDataChooser widget. Even this is simple in principle,
although complicated in practice because it involves a lot of rather

No, it doesn't. Absolutely not.
Tags are, as I have already agreed,
an excellent way of doing a search mechanism. They don't get rid of the

I'm sorry to jump in on this so late. I was working on a new GIMP
Plug-In Registry. It had been put on pause by me because of certain
life-altering events.
