This is about productivity.
What I was talking about -- recording is automatic, it's always happening. Every change to the image can be recorded, because most changes (say, gaussian blurring) can be recorded with a trivial amount of memory (what type of node is it, where is it connected, what properties does it have and what are their values). This is easily seen when you look at GEGL's current XML format. In short -- what you call 'action recording', I call 'packaging up a chunk of the undo stack'. Really, your 'start' and 'stop' actions would be trivial to implement: mark the start location in undo stack; mark the end; and prompt the user for a filename. Applying them is similarly trivial (choose an action, load it, append to the undo stack) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
