The Save and Export dialogs are rather tightly coupled to the core currently so it will not be trivial to extend the plug-in API to show and interact these dialogs but I would not reject patches that implemented it properly. > Would be be possible to add an API for this, or maybe an optional > argument in gimp_file_save and the corresponding _export function? > IMO we should not reuse gimp_file_save() for this but instead introduce gimp_show_save_dialog() and gimp_show_export_dialog(). I am a bit worried however that plug-ins will abuse this power. In your case, why do you need to show these dialogs? Isn't it better if the user has to go through a single place to save or export? > In the new framework, will gimp_file_save() fail if the filename isn't > xcf? No, the existing API needs to be backwards compatible so even though it is unfortunate that _save() can be used to export, we need to allow that for the sake of backwards compatibility. / Martin _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
