Great. So what I suggest - i.e. a forth argument to run() to indicate a request for a thumbnail should work and not break other plugins?
I think you need to make yourself familiar with the GIMP API. Did you ever look at the API reference manual?
Not in full, but I can't see why it will help, since this is internal to gimp itself.
No it isn't. If I understand your approach, you suggested to add
parameters to run()
Not at all. I meant to add a parameter to 'param'
run(const gchar* name,
gint nparams,
const GimpParam* param,
...)This affect only load plugins with 4 declared arguments (by the plugin), the forth named "thumbnail".
static GimpParamDef load_args[] =
{
{ GIMP_PDB_INT32, "run_mode", "Interactive, non-interactive" },
{ GIMP_PDB_STRING, "filename", "The name of the file to load" },
{ GIMP_PDB_STRING, "raw_filename", "URI of the file to load" },
{ GIMP_PDB_INT32, "thumbnail", "use embedded thumbnail" },
(I would need to be superman to make a working change to run() in 15 minutes ... :)

even though run() of course has a fixed set of parameters. Since it is probably the most important function in the GIMP API and implemented by all plug-ins, there is certainly not an option to change it. What we need here is a way for load plug-ins to register and additional procedure to load the thumbnail. This could probably be designed in a way that would allow plug-ins to reuse their main procedure.
I am however not going to continue this discussion in private mail. If you want to talk about it, please use the mailing-list.
No problem. I thought it is best not to inflict my ignorance on the whole list.
