Unfortunately it seems that you missed the comment at the top of the file you edited. It informs you that this file is generated code. You could have saved yourself a lot of work by editing the corresponding .pdb file instead. We are in need for an updated text-tool PDB API but I would really like to get it right this time instead of adding more kludges. There's a bug report for this and it would be very nice if we could get some help with it. Perhaps then we can get such an API for GIMP 2.6: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164539 Sven _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
