There is the python plugin GURM http://registry.gimp.org/node/13473
I use the default resource set, and then GURM to dynamically activate brush/gradient/pattern/palettes once gimp is running. It also does scripts but I do not use that feature. It can't do plugins as there is no way through the exposed API to reload plugins. I'm hoping that Gimp 2.8 will provide an API to also set tags on resources, then I will modify GURM to not just load the resource sets but also associated resource tags.... -Rob A> On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 9:56 AM, Srihari Sriraman <tec...@visishta.net>wrote: > Resource manager plugin sounds interesting... > Maybe a category in preferences where users can check the resources they > want to load on startup... > Cool > > On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 6:34 PM, Alexia Death <alexiade...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 2:37 PM, Srihari Sriraman <srihari29...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Is it possible to implement this change before the release of 2.8? >> > or is it too late? >> >> The window to get new features into 2.8 closed long ago. >> >> Lazy loading has been on the table for as long as I have been with the >> project, but it has never been important enough or desired enough to >> attract a developer to actually implement it and its not a trivial >> change to do so its actually beneficial.
