But is there a special reason why this One way to make it sensefull and put gimp_layer_offsets to the API is to rename the function and then #define gimp_drawable_offsets(id,x,y) gimp_layer_offsets(id,x,y) or withou renaming the function just #define gimp_layer_offsets(id,x,y) gimp_drawable_offsets(id,x,y) You keep compatibility and make happy those who want gimp_layer_offsets(); :) Edas
