I like the idea of pluggable paint-modes since the API would probably be relatively simple. This makes it an ideal candidate for providing a GimpModule interface to it: http://developer.gimp.org/api/1.3/libgimpmodule/index.html For an example have a look at the GimpColorDisplay API: http://developer.gimp.org/api/1.3/libgimpwidgets/GimpColorDisplay.html and a simple impplementation: http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gimp/modules/cdisplay_gamma.c > So, I would like to know if you think this could be an itneresting > feature.

First of all, we are of course interested in your patch that implements XOR as a new layer mode. It might be a little late to integrate pluggable paint-modes now since we really need to get a release done soon. So we might want to include your new layer mode now and develop pluggable paint-modes in parallel. It could then be merged when the code is branched after the release. Sven
