There is always about this amount of hazzle to integrate things into GIMP, whether you need to do a couple of registration calls in a plug-in or module or touch a couple of files to register it with GIMP. It is however very easy for us to help a newbie with this 10 steps you listed than to sit down and design and implement a plug-in API for it. Such an API would have to be flexible enough to deal with all sorts of ideas that people might come up with and so far we have no clue what that could be. So instead of discussing this API, I want people to realize that the code in app/paint already offers an API that should fit their needs. So all they need to do is to ask for a little help with integrating the new paint-core. It is easy for me or Mitch to set up the framework you need to start experimenting. Now that you have explained it in your mail, people would probably not even need this help any longer. Sven
