No. In an ideal world, Logo scripts would be in Xtns/Logo/whatever, not
seperated by language-isms. Nobody should need to memoize wether a plug-in
is implemented in c, python or scheme to use it.
IMHO, the perl way (group plug-ins by function, rather than by implementation
language) is the right way.
Reorganization efforts in that direction will certainly clean up the
menus.

Sorry, but there simply is no distinction between scripts and plug-ins
(except for the script-fu case, which needs it's in-memory interpreter).
Sometime after 1.2, gimp-perl will compile pelr plug-ins before
installation..

Hmm, are you sure that you looked at the right places? The PDB Explorer
(and maybe the DB Browser) will tell you the menu location for all
plug-ins.

Do you have any specifics? For exmaple, gimp-make-img-map is not a
gimp-plug-in, so it should not be used as one ;) Also, maybe you are
missing some modules that you had in earlier releases, but never did "rm
-rf $prefix/lib/gimp"?

Hm... Seth, are the versions in the cvs ok to get installed again? I am
not sure wether they should be installed or not.

Ah yes, they shouldn't get installed indeed. It's on my TODO. Nevertheless,
do they register? They shouldn't, even when they are installed.

They are not the same. However, the usefulness of "2x2 blur" is
questionable, so if people agree, it could be removed before 1.2.

Indeed. Who is the current script-fu-hacker? How about a
(__ ("translate me, dumbhead")) syntax? I'll extend pxgettext to parse it
unless xgettext doesn't already do that. AFAIK, Sven is trying something,
but I am not sure wether his idea extends to the dialog texts and error
messages as well. In any case, the above solution (awdding i18n) is the
right thing, and unfortunately also the most work-intensive.

Stop using colours ;-> BTW, you colour is a superset of grayscale, so the
only limitation is memory/disk space, which is a problem for animated brushes
anyway.
Ideally (long after 1.3), the gimp will compress brushes and load large
brushes only on demand.
Thanks a lot for your comments!
