Re: [Gimp-developer] Limiting Plug-Ins

[Mitchell Verter <mitchell verter gmail com>]

Where would be the wisest place to intervene in the code to limit the
extensions?  Basically, I will just check to see if the extension
matches a certain list of permitted extensions.

I would guess somewhere in config/gimppluginconfig.c or plugin/gimpplugin.c?


Thanks for all your help,
Mitchell
