GimpPlugInextension_enable
unstable since: 3.0
Declaration [src]
void
gimp_plug_in_extension_enable (
GimpPlugIn* plug_in
)
Description [src]
Enables asynchronous processing of messages from the main GIMP application.
Normally, a plug-in is not called by GIMP except for the call to the procedure it implements. All subsequent communication is triggered by the plug-in and all messages sent from GIMP to the plug-in are just answers to requests the plug-in made.
If the plug-in however registered temporary procedures using
gimp_plug_in_add_temp_procedure(), it needs to be able to receive
requests to execute them. Usually this will be done by running
gimp_plug_in_extension_process() in an endless loop.
If the plug-in cannot use gimp_plug_in_extension_process(), i.e. if
it has a GUI and is hanging around in a GMainLoop, it
must call gimp_plug_in_extension_enable().
Note that the plug-in does not need to be a PDBProcType.EXTENSION to register temporary procedures.
