So, adding on to this - while only reviewing the code and the UI might be
much less than expected for a whoe GSoC project, I perceive this as a
valuable idea.
Maybe adding to this review the implementation of some, or even more,
of the features suggested could do for a Google Summer of Code.
Guillermo, I would encourage you towards formalizing this application -
try to summarize objectively what exists today and what do you plan to
implement. Also, try some "guestimates" on a time frame for completing
each task.
The idea, bellow, of integrating it to the GIMP TIFF save plug-in is great and
would make it really feel like part of GIMP. So, take a look at GIMP's TIff
plug-in and giver your say on it.
And of course, the separate plug-in should take into account ICC color profile
magement, as implemented in the GIMP core (I reall don't know if it aready
does that).
And least - have in mind that the chances of approval depend very much on a
favorable review of your proposal by the GIMP developers. You got some
critics on your first e-mail, and some ideas as well. So use those in your
favor and come up with a propose everyone here should like.
regards,
js
