(as opposed to editing the GIMP DAG). That would already be a very useful tool and additionally a nice testbed for advanced functionality. Reason is, i see quite some difficult bits for a GIMP DAG editor, for the UI has been decided to utilize operation chains instead of trees. So the UI will deliberately allow only a subset of DAG editing. In consequence, it will be difficult to resolve conflicts between edits done via the DAG editor and edits done via the standard UI. And this 'standard UI' is yet to be designed as is a DAG plugin API... Older versions of GEGL featured a rudimentary DAG editor, but i can't access the web site right now - i guess prior to 0.0.18 or so. An interesting option to migrate such a GEGL editor into GIMP is to make it a standard plugin which hosts its private GEGL tree -- embedded into the GIMP tree.. regards, yahvuu _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
