[Gimp-developer] Gimp Plug-in for Retrieving Text Layers

[BillC@xxxxxxxxxx]

I am having difficulties enumerating,
and identifying layers in a Gimp Plug-in.  Is there 
a good source for code that shows how
to do this?  

My need is to save the text information
found in a Gimp document/image into another
file.  To do this, I need to iterate
through all of the layers, find the text ones, get the text
and save it to a file.

My end goal is to make a new Plug-in
Filter for an archaic file type that many people
would like to have.

Any code would be appreciated,  I
am just having a problem getting started with 
Gimp development.  

I am using the Plug-in Template, Linux
(Fedora Core 2), Developer and Base RPM's.
I have compiled the sample plugin, and
got it to list the layers, but I cannot identify
the contents of the layer or the simply
the layer type.

Thanks in advance

Bill
