Now, what gimp-perl does (when you pass in a > drawable instead of both image and drawable) is this: Is there a way to pass in the image id?

If this is true then there is a timing issue here where plug-ins can't call other plug-ins. > Here I have to give up and hope this rings a bell for somebody more tied > to the internals of gimp id management. I'm going to try calling C plug-ins instead of Script-Fu, and variations on the same, to see if there is one specific area where this happens. Thanks for looking into this, Mark. -- Michael J.
