Of course plug-ins must not access gimprc directly. gimprc is the core rc file and must only be read and written by the core. I was rather thinking of letting each plug-in use it's own config file, located in the ~/.gimp-2.x directory. Regarding concurrent writes, I should probably note that GimpConfigWriter writes to a temporary file and moves it to the final destination when done. Sven
