Let me extend your idea a bit. Every time selecting a resource, a copy of it could be created (in memory, not on physical file). User could edit resource in any way she likes without affecting originally selected resources. GIMP could actually maintain a current-session-brush, current-session-pattern, etc.: when finishing session save currently selected resources (one for each resource type). When starting session only one resource for each type would need to be loaded in synchronously. All other resources could be loaded in background (improve startup time). _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
