If GEGL Op's are to be the new default way of adding most plug-ins, most of the dialog code will probably disapperar,. or be a special case,. where a default ui that is a list of properties with the appropriate widgets for changing color, browsing for a file, selecting a drawable etc. can be defined. /Øyvind K. -- .^. /V\ Øyvind Kolås, Gjøvik University College, Norway /(_)\ <oeyvindk@xxxxxx>,<pippin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ^ ^
