Hi, I'm currently working on two fronts: - a framework to handle configuration files (gimprc, sessionrc ...) - improving the Text Tool I got a bit stuck with the latter, but I hope the next version of Pango will be less buggy (working on a patch right now), so work can continue. It will certainly take more time. The configuration framework is still being designed in my head. At the moment my plan is to create an interface (whee, GObject has interfaces) with default implementations to serialize and deserialize object properties. For the gimprc object, a class hierarchy of config classes will be created (base-config, core-config, gui-config) so all configurable options are defined as properties and can be serialized and deserialized using generic code. The same generic code can be used to read and write the session info and the plug-in rc. Some example code can already be found in app/config. It is about to change a lot though. Salut, Sven
