Hi,
I want two persons to work on the "same" image at the same time but on
different pc.
Since my last post ("tile update" on Thursday 30 July), I have had some
results. One person can open Gimp, start to draw and the changes are
sent to multiple pc (by multicast) and showed. This is very helpful for
people who want to project a huge image on a huge screen by multiple
projectors (multipexed).
Since we are going to migrate to GEGL, you might want to look into IPC
sharing of GeglBuffers. That would be a topic for the gegl-developer
mailing list though.
Does anybody know where is the principal loop of gimp? (I mean where
gimp is waiting for an event)
GIMP uses the GLib main loop library. The actual loop is entered through
the call to g_main_loop_run() in app/app.c.
A general tip: You could easily find this by setting a breakpoint in
basically any part of the code, trigger it, and look at the backtrace in
a debugger.
