I am working on a Gimp Perl application and wanted to confirm what is available in terms of ensuring the thread-safety of the resources my Gimp scripts are using. I had read that certain resources such as current foreground/background color and brush shape are not thread-safe. I know that there is a gimp:lock() function for exclusive access to the Gimp instance that is available and had also read about the possibility of each script running in its own "GimpContext" as an alternative method. I have implemented Gimp:lock in my scripts and it seems to lock the gimp instance for the duration of the lock call within the script thereby avoiding thread-safety issues, though I would prefer to not have to implement a lock and would like to be able to depend on each script operating with its own background color, etc. Is there the ability currently in Gimp Perl to set it up so that each script runs in its own context?
