Git master is barely ever recommended for daily use. > I mean that whenever a plugin is used on an image with the channel size larger than the plugin can support, gimp should output a warning message about loss of precision. So I guess would adding a simple check like this involve much much less work than the porting of a plugin to GEGL? Although I haven't got to read the code myself, I guess all we need to do is to add a member in the plugin base class showing the type of element it supports (8-bit int, 16-bit int, 32-bit int etc....) and let the constructor of each plugin (both GEGL and non-GEGL) set it to the correct value........... _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
