I see, that's cool. But it seems like that the process of creating task-set is not intuitive enough. Also, do users have to manually capture/upload the snapshot of their task-set or your system will automatically capture it? The better way to do so is perhaps like Grabler's automatic tutorial generation work at SIGGRAPH 2009? http://vis.berkeley.edu/papers/tutgen/ In any case, I really like the direction you are taking and I believe your system will really shine after the GIMP provides the macro function someday. Assume someone is to share her newly recorded macro, she can analyze and annotate her macro with your system then share it via the wiki. And other users can download and apply the macro step-by-step in the speed they like. Wow, I do look forward the coming of that day! About my work, yes, I will share the source code and I would definitely like to replace my current backend with GEGL. But this thread is really about Michael's wonderful work and we should discuss my system on some separate thread :D @Michael Terry, Please accept my apology of mentioning my project in the thread, it seems to distract others' focus from your work.

A great example of how this is useful is the task of drawing rectangles. In the version of GIMP we modified, there is no rectangle drawing tool. So we have a "task set" (interface customization) that gathers the tools needed to draw a rectangle, and walks you through the process: > > http://adaptablegimp.org/index.php/TaskSet:Drawing_Squares_and_Rectangles > > While the web page is useful on its own, AdaptableGIMP will customize the toolbox with only the tools shown in the wiki page. > > Will you be releasing the source code to your work? > > Michael > > On 4/30/11 2:39 PM, Tim Chen wrote: >> Very cool work! >> >> So you guys has implemented some sort of scripts for recording and >> replaying commands? >> >> Interestingly, I implemented a revision control system in the form of >> plugin for GIMP and the paper will be published on SIGGRAPH 2011.
