Hi Lloyd, Personally I'm not principally against including Resynthesizer, but for it to happen it is important that the initial set of patches looks good. So I suggest you start with getting together patches that adds Resynthesizer to GIMP which can then be evaluated. I certainly see it as a favour for users to include a popular plug-in in the default install. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ "GIMP 2.8 development still under control" _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
