they are moving around the filters menu now in the development version, just so you are warned for your next upgrade. there will probably be some changes in the Xtns menu as well. when you see the changes, stop for a few minutes and review the logic. it will help when making a transition. and about dynamic text. it was never included with the gimp tarball, it needed to be installed by the user. the plug-in was written by and maintained by marco lamberto http://the.sunnyspot.org/gimp/plugins.html maybe a note to the developer might inspire him to update the plug-in. until that time, gimp-1.2 and gimp2 were designed to co-exist on the same computer -- so it is not like anyone is keeping you from using the old plug-ins. you simply need to have the old gimp around to use them. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
