I would certainly do a few plug-ins, > are there others who would be able to help out here? Hi, Thanks for offering help on this huge hack. While there is certainly help needed (my fingers start to break when i try to type 'GTK_RESPONSE_FOO' :-), I don't really know how this could be done by several people without temporarily breaking half of the tree. gimp_dialog_new()'s API has changed in an incompatible way so unported plug-ins break. I thought about adding a temporary new API first, port them step by step, and then do a perl hack on the tree to rename all new functions back to gimp_dialog_new(). However this will hardly result in a nicely formated source, they would al have to be edited manually again. (guess why i hesitated so long before starting this ;) After all, I think this API change is best committed atomically, so I'll just continue hacking the plug-ins and commit everything today or tomorrow. ciao, --mitch
