This is great stuff. If we had had this a year ago, it would have
saved me a *lot* of ugly hacking about developing the client side
gimp-mode for Emacs. (If you wanna know, this was done by
wrapping the code to be sent
inside scheme code that wrote back to a file, with stuff such as
tracing and the various write and display functions not working).
The other implementation I did to interact with GIMP was with GIMP as
a subprocess as
a batch program; this is quite crude and does not work under that other OS
I have to use at work.
Attached is a small python program (my first) I wrote this morning that gives
a simple REPL interface to the script-fu server based on your
patch, you might want to use that for testing if your patch works. So
far it is going strong.
I very much like to see this one implemented, and am working on
rewriting parts of gimp-mode for Emacs to use this facility. Even
though the script-fu server apparently was not intended for actual
use, its usefulness at least for developing script-fu inside an editor
of choice
is greatly enhanced with these additions.
It is looking promising.
Regards,
Niels.
