I'm confused -- you say I should pop up a file chooser, then you say that's not what the PDB is for. Is there a non-PDB way to do this from a plug-in? Popping up a file chooser is exactly what I'm trying to do. But I'd ideally like it to be the gimp file chooser with the image file types, not a generic GTK file chooser (just for consistency, because the GIMP dialog is what the user expects to see elsewhere in gimp). That's why I was asking for an API to do that. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
