Thanks a lot to Steiner for his reply! While a "reverse PDB" might be nice, as an initial attempt could we get by with something much simpler and more hardcoded that would only address Script-Fu for example? In saying that, please take into account that I'm just getting started as a gimp developer, and really don't have a very good idea yet of just exactly what the PDB is all about. But I'd hate to see a good idea go out the window just because we wanted to shoot for the moon and make things much more complex than is really necessary for a preliminary implementation. Unfortunately, I don't have enough gimp knowledge yet to have a feel for what it would take to convert interactive actions in gimp to the corresponding Script-Fu statements. s/KAM ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steinar H.
