Specifically the PDB (procedural database)-- currently, only some things (like plugins) that show up in the UI are actually called through PDB.. Rockwalrus was working on a library 'libpdb' at some point, which was supposed to implement important functionality for PDB (default values; named parameters) to allow this to happen. However, he vanished from GIMP development some time ago, as you can see: http://freshmeat.net/projects/libpdb/ Something like libpdb would help; However the real issue is simply the size of the job, and how to present the implementation to the user when it is only partially complete. > So now that things are moving to GEGL, I'd like to resurrect > this feature request. > From what I remember back in photoshop 6, one > could pretty much push a button and record everything that is being done > on an image.

With GEGL, would it be possible to do something like this (as > easy as just pressing a button, instead of learning a scripting > language)? GEGL has a little to do with this. It will effect how easy it is to record changes to the image structure. ... there are more actions than just image-structure modification. For example creating a new view, adding colors to a palette, or copying the selected region. It will have some effect, by itself it could not even come close to 'making it possible' though. Basically, it's a pretty big job, in which GEGL has relatively minor relevance.
