The menus are defined in XML files which bind code-defined actions to menu items. This stuff if fully introspectable and an experienced GIMP coder can hack up a usable menu search in one day. Hardly a GSoC project that would keep a new GIMP hacker busy for longer than two weeks. Tumbs down from here. As to creating menus by scripting, I really don't see what would be the purpose of that. The way we construct menus is completely to GTK+ standards, with some GIMP specific additions. Overriding menus from scripts feels like over-configurability to me and hardly like a way to foster usability. ciao, --mitch _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
