Not likely to happen for 2.2 since it depends on the PDB revamp. > 3.

Can > anyone suggest what that module's name is? plug-ins/common/postscript.c I strongly suggest you change your workflow. If you want to edit scanned images, then don't use Postscript. If you need to edit PS, then use a tool that handles Postscript. GIMP is the wrong tool here.
