The plug-in has been updated to the 2.0 API. It would be nice to have the plug-in updated to 4.4.0 when it comes out (which should be any day now, I think) - in fact, if 4.4 comes out this week, it would be nice to be able to use that for The GIMP 2.0 (imho). I'm the Gimp-Print project lead, that's why I asked the question :-) Gimp-Print 5.0 alpha came out a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, the real 5.0 is a ways out yet, and there's going to be a significant API change in the next alpha release (hopefully that will be the last one -- it fixes the specification of input and output modes). In the 5.0 tree, the plugin has been split into two pieces, a UI library (libgimpprintui) and the GIMP plugin proper (which is tiny, and contains all of the GIMP-specific code). We should work out the appropriate ownership of of these two components, and the correct dividing line. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
