Is it possible that one physical file could represent more than one resource? Let's say, some file format of other application which contains multiple brushes. Or some file format which contains multiple types of resources (brushes, patterns, etc). If such case should be handled, we could look at such file as some special kind of directory: /home/aaa/bbbb_favorites.col#brush1 This way it should be possible to handle various collection formats from other application. About sharing resources: There was a suggestion, that when user want's to share resources, they could be exported to some kind of archive. If collection handling would be supported, it would be possible for user to access archive directly and for administrator to put some archives to read-only network folder and user could load those resources without the need of extracting and copying to local folder. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
