That's a nice idea, but it is slightly more messy for non-parametric resources. Since we are going to obsolete non-parametric resources too I'll commit my patch soonish. Lazy loading of resources would be nice of course, but it is more important to get 2.8 out. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
