The files HACKING and README should give you a good overview of what you need. If you have problems, ask. So you are working on plug-in preview. Did you consider to resurrect the code or at least the idea of a generic preview suitable to be used by all (or most) plug-ins? I think now is a good time to add such a feature since almost all plug-ins would benefit a lot from having a preview and it does IMO not make sense to duplicate the same code all over the place. The code I'm speaking about can be found at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/users/amundson/gimp_plugin_preview-0.29.tar.gz Salut, Sven
