gimp-win-remote 2.0
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
It would be really neat if GIMP 2.0 has a version of gimp-win-remote (that comes with the GIMP 1.2.5).
OK. I thought it actually worked that way already, but actually the original gimp-win-remote will open files with GIMP 2.0 if it's already open, but won't launch GIMP 2.0 if it's not. Opening files with gimp-2.0 starts a new instance of GIMP 2.0. So what would be nice is a version of the gimp-win-remote that will open files using GIMP 2 instead of GIMP 1.
gimp-win-remote is not part of the GIMP source tree. It's an addition of whoever packaged your GIMP binary. So you should ask the packager about this. For GIMP 2.2 we would like to redo gimp-remote or integrate it's functionality into the gimp binary. This rewrite should be done in a portable way. See bug #52866.
