Before any effort is spent to build a framework to allow for pluggable paint tools, I would want you to understand how easily you can add a new paint tool to the GIMP core. We have put a lot of effort into cleaning up this code to the point where it becomes trivial to experiment with new ideas for paint tools. Exporting this API to some sort of plug-ins or modules would not be impossible but it would be a major effort. Before this is even considered, I would want to see someone working on a new paint tool in the core. Before that didn't happen, I do not believe that there is serious interest in pluggable paint tools. Seriously, if you have an idea for a new paint tool, tell us about it. With a little help from me and Mitch you or anyone else should have the new paint tool added to the GIMP core in less than a day. Sven
