Maybe we need a name change if general manipulation of images is not a part of GIMP's charter. IMHO, GIMP should absolutely permit batch processing of images - and if you wanted to write a plugin to count colours or do OCR image analysis to read text - then that should be possible. (Dunno how feasible it is to find text and fonts...but that's not the point). ---- Steve Baker (817)619-2657 (Vox/Vox-Mail) L3Com/Link Simulation & Training (817)619-2466 (Fax) Work: sjbaker@xxxxxxxx http://www.link.com Home: sjbaker1@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sjbaker.org
