I just had a look at your patch and there are several things that prevented me from committing it before the release. Please add an XML effect description (see the xml files in effects/ and effects/README). This will make the parameter names translatable. It would also be possible then to add a comment about the meaning of the keywords (see SOP/Sat effect for an example). Additionally for the geometry parameter the keyframe functionality can be hidden. Please also use the already existing color widget (type "color"). regards Till -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk59+gkACgkQzwEyz7QP6nTnQwCffhh44bhRzGH3DlPu8ahX3xnN VxkAoKoOr7cZHvuJgEEz+DDTqTFrIjzf =8t6o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
