If you still want a place to DND in this situation, you can always write a simple but separate app that gives just a DND basket like d4x or kget gives. For whatever is dropped on it, you can always call gimp's remote. Heck! you can even make it intelligent and open the app you want based on different criteria! But that is enough said on GIMP's list. :-) -- Laxminarayan Kamath Ammembal (+91) 9945036093 _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
