If there's components that are only available in Python, that would save a lot of work since you could just write the plugins in Python directly. This is ticked here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3408 Note that it's currently assigned to any milestone or developer so I can't say when it will be available. But if anyone's interested in taking the libpeas port on please email us first so we can discuss some implementation details. - Eric _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
