Does that make sense? GIMP now exports two methods. "Open" takes an array of URIs or filenames. It silently does nothing if that array is empty. "Activate" raises the toolbox. The method names are inspired from libguniqueapp but if anyone wants to come up with something better, I am open for suggestions. > (3) Should gimp-remote still be built and installed even if the d-bus > functionality is built into the gimp exectuable?

I hope that it can be deprecated in the next release.
