GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148731
Cancelled plug-in can be repeated
Last modified: 2004-07-30 09:53:46 UTC
Start the IfsCompose plugin in 2.0. Cancel it. The filters menu will still allow you to "Repeat IfsCompose," even though you didn't do it in the first place.
Happens for every plugin, in fact. Not so easy to fix. The right way to go at this is probably to maintain a list of the N most recently used plugins, not just the last one.
I cannot reproduce this "problem", not with IfsCompose nor with any other filter. Bill, what exactly are you trying to fix by keeping a list of recently used plug-ins?
Ah, the problem is in 2.0 only and probably not worth fixing there. Closing this report as FIXED.
What I had in mind (and didn't communicate very well) is that I have often used a plug-in, and then applied something else that is implemented as a plug-in (such as "normalize"), and wished that I could get back to the first plug-in without having to find it in the Filters menu again. But this would not be trivial to implement, mainly because it is not obvious how the UI would work.
The UI would work like the recent files menu. You would have Reshow last plug-in Rerun last plug-in Rerun -> _1 Gaussian blur _2 Plasma _3 Edge detect _4 Bump map The implementation would be the tricky part. I guess we would borrow code from the recent files section, and plug it into the PDB code. This should be moved to a separate enhancement request, though, since it has next to nothing to do with the original bug report, which is fixed.
Created separate enhancement request in bug #148855.
