If so, how can I do it? how is your plug-in supposed to use the gimp functions without having the gimp core running? The small libgimp library plug-ins link against only handles the communication with the main gimp application. If there's no gimp running at the other end of the wire things simply won't work. At least not with the current design of The GIMP (we imagine something into this direction for the future...). > I have found a method to do it in perl - by using extension-perl-server, > but nothing like this was present for Python.
