Just in case I can do it, and the Text Tool PDB ain ready, I'd like to go for it. I have also one other improvement I think I could work on, and this would be great, so I might even postpone the above PDB stuff: Postscript saving plug-in. Actually, I have a similar list of things I believe I can implement in it, more or less in this order: - Add a "save one layer per page" option, with metadata on postscript comments to allow reloading without loosing layer Info. - Add a rough (or maybe full) transparency support for postscript saving - Allow to save vectors as postscript paths, along with meta data to get them back on GIMP - Allow to save GIMP unstransformed text layers as postscript stroken paths - this could allow a 150dpi image with text on it to get press-ready, without great loss of information,as text would be vectorial. - Add color correction to PS save. This last one would be the greatest of them all, but also, the one I know less about how would be done. I imagine that with online help of whoever will be working on the color-profiles functionality (either on #gimp, or by e-mail), I can manage the postscript-side of it. Also, to be added to the list of what I think is feasible: - Add Vector Layers functionality. (Simon, you there? ) And I would happily add them to the postscript save. :-) Regards, JS -><-
