CinePaint Film Gimp plans

Hello all,

here some current thoughts for the legacy flawor of CinePaint.

Frist of all the Gtk branch seemed not to bring that many interesst to the 
project, that we found developers to continue heavily on Glasgow. Beside 
CinePaint being the base for some colour management related fun this 
target seemed not been meet. My idea therefore is to slow down my pure 
Gtk effort.

What I have now is some Gtk2 code for better i18n support in CinePaint.
The parallel gtk1 builds are slightly broken in CVS therefore.
Gtk2-CinePaint builds but is missing some important features due to the 
heavy changes to the Gtk object system, which Gimp and CinePaint 
are based on.
As well the menu system is expectedly broken as important functionality 
are not available in the Gtk2 API. The API used by CinePaint is deprecated 
in Gtk2.
So I have here locally a UTF-8 capable Gtk2 version without real 
functionality.
If someone wants to continune this effort, let me know to make 
the code more soon available.

As we allready started with writing new plug-ins in FLTK, I'd like to 
continue such things, which are good bricks for Glasgow.
An example could be the colour selector and the file browser. The later is 
much better designed in FLTK and would give legacy CinePaint a very nice 
preview. Just look at the collect plug-in.
The prise of mixing Gtk and FLTK, is a less uniform GUI. But thats seems 
fine, at least to me, as it reflects clearly the direction for CinePaint.

regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
