Yes, this would be nice, but the problem is finding someone to write it. Do we have any volunteers? Anyone who could outline a basic process for conquering some of the projects on Sven's to do list? Other than that, come join us on #gimp on irc.gimp.org sometime. You can learn a lot by listening there and maybe start getting your claws into the code a little more. My challenge of the moment is figuring out how to understand the strings. :-) I'm no coder so sometimes I get confused to death. But the channel is a good place to find out what is going on. Mitch and Sven are even there a lot. :-) bex
