Just because some plug-ins are too slow for live preview doesn't mean we shouldn't have it for simpler plug-ins. Besides, we can have it for slow plug-ins as well, we just do the preview calculations asyncronously. And the previews will be small, so it won't take that much time even on slow plug-ins. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ "Automatic tab style and removed tab title bar" _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
