After an intolerable long wait, I just released the first official version of the new GimpPreview plug-in widget. You can find it at "http://refocus.sourceforge.net/preview";. It has changed considerably compared with the previous proposal. I have completely eliminated the entire event-id business. In the new version at most one instance of the rendering function can be active. Also all names have been changed to start with GimpPreview. For the time being, I have made this a separate distribution instead of submitting it directly to the Gimp CVS. The main reason is that this makes it easier for developers to test it. It contains several example plug-ins (spread, pixelize and colorify) and a simple test plug-in. The distribution also contains a tutorial, design document and Gtk-doc documentation. Although I can imagine that some persons would be highly reluctant to make any comments, I would like to encourage everyone, especially all plug-in developers, to examine it critically. At the moment there is no installed user-base and it should be fairly easy to change things. greetings, Ernst Lippe
