I'm trying to code a simple plug-in that will be used by my company. The purpose is to grab a photo from a database server and load it into gimp. When the photo needs to be saved, it should go back to the db, not the filesystem. I am using the filesystem for temp storage of the photos for a few reasons (using MS SQL server, and no C lib to access from linux, so we're using a java photo server to retrieve from db). Anyway, my question is, how do I write a script-fu extension in C and automate loading of a file. I already have the plug-in executing and downloading the photo from the photo server, I just need to instruct gimp to load the file that was downloaded from the plug-in after it is downloaded. The plug-in assigns the file name, so I know where it is. What is the PDB function call to automatically open a jpeg from within an extension? Thanks, -- Mark
