So the easiest solution would be to make script-fu accept the enums with or without prefix. > If we are to make such a change, now is the time to do it. The point is that it is already way too late to do any major incompatible change. Our API was frozen from the moment we did the first 2.0pre release. However I don't see any problem in accepting a patch for Script-Fu that makes it accept enums prefixed with "GIMP-". Should be a trivial change. > The next opportunity to make a change would be for 2.2 which might > be another year or two down the road but one wouldn't expect such > incompatibilities in a "minor" bump in version (2.0 to 2.2). Since we want 2.2 to be API compatible with 2.0, we couldn't do an incompatible change for 2.2. On the other hand 2.2 is scheduled for this summer, not in a year or two. Sven
