Hi, going hand in hand with the 1.3.17 release, there's now an updated version of the gimp-plugin-template available from ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plugin-template/ The template has been relicensed to a less restrictive X11-style license (thanks to Adam for his patch) and was updated to follow the GIMP-1.3 API changes. It requires at least GIMP-1.3.17. If you want to write a larger plug-in for GIMP 2.0, this package should give you a good start. Sven
