How do you keep Gimp Scripts and Plug-ins current?

Hi Gimp-user,

Is there a way to automate Gimp script/plug-in updates, or at least compare installed versions verses Gimp Registry versions?

Thank you.

No, there isn't.

DJ: If you have lots of disk and some time you could probably get pretty close to what you are after by mirroring the Gimp Registry site with something like HTTrack (WinHTTrack if Windows), copying your local installed versions to a parallel structure to however you grab them with HTTrack and then using a folder/file comparison program like KDiff3 or WinMerge to check for changes.

HTTrack can be configured to only download changes to previous mirroring so you could rerun periodically (say) monthly.
