Hi Simon, I really appreciate your quick response. About the other solution, that is to make GIMP running a background, I am aware of it. But I am not sure how I can call PDB functions from my program to a process that is running in background. Do you want to say that I should run GIMP from my application first and then call it's functionality thru PDB? I am sorry if I am making a foolish question here. Thanks and regards, Shrinivas Kulkarni. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Budig" <Simon.Budig@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 5:32 PM Subject: Re: [Gimp-developer] Calling plugin from plugins > Shrinivas Kulkarni (shrinivask@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) wrote: > > I have one more question!
