If people need to work with text layers in plugins, then clearly the right approach is to add new functions gimp_layer_is_text(), gimp_layer_get_text(), and gimp_layer_set_text() to libgimp. I expect this wouldn't even be very difficult. Best, -- Bill ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ Sent via the KillerWebMail system at primate.ucdavis.edu
