The plug-ins are discovered dynamically (well, each time the GIMP starts) already.

The > concept is similary to MacOs extensions. Hmm, wouldn't it be simpler to just tell people to move those plug-ins they know they are never going to use away from the plug-in path. Or, as you say later, distribute several sets of plug-ins. > gimp-base.package > gimp-extratools.package > gimp-extrapattern.package > gimp-extrabrushes.package > gimp-extra...etc > So gimp could be small for non-power-user... > Complete for power user with choice Sounds reasonable. This is up to whoever packages gimp for distribution on various platforms, I don't think it's a gimp-developer issue per se. (At one point I tried to offer various sets of plug-ins in my gimp-win32 distribution, but decided it's not worth to spend time on trying to figure out how to divide the plug-ins. It's enoough of a pain to make snapshot releases reasonably often anyhow.) > Save --> save a selection with name This would be truly useful, yes.

This is stuff that will come naturally when(ever) the GIMP has "vector layers", or more general layer types in general. --tml
