The one that was never merged. That part was not complete, anyway. :-/ But in current GIMP what makes sense is to figure out how to make GEGL calls from GIMP-Python plug-ins, and create an on-screen preview API using the GEGL capabilities. And while one is at that, there is the need port Python-fu from pygtk to gobject introspection as well - I hacked a bit on it a while ago, and I think it can be done while keeping backwards compatibility for python-fu scripts. js -><- > Alexandre Prokoudine > http://libregraphicsworld.org > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
