There is no need putting this in the plug-in registry - since the paltete sort is a plug-in in the main GIMP tree. Your changes are welcome improvements - and we shoudl manage to merge them in for GIMP 2.10 - meanwhile you could attach both your version of the plug-in and a diff against what is GIMP master (or gimp2.8 if you dn't have master - it had not changed) - in a gimp bugzilla issue. (That way, people wanting to get the newer version before gimp 210 is out could just download it from there) js -><- On 3 November 2012 10:33, David Gowers <00ai99@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > I got tired of being unable to get any use out of the 'sort palette' plugin > and made some major upgrades.
