Dear All,
I'm writing on the behalf of Budapest based Visual Ingenium Ltd.
We have started a cooperation last year with the ECDL Foundation in order to develop a new ECDL module for image processing, using GIMP, Photoshop and Corel Photopaint. I think this is a great opportunity for GIMP to become really popular in Europe.
The current phase is about developing the exam tasks, so we met a problem: in Photoshop there's an option to save the steps made by the examinee which makes correction pretty easy. Unfortunately we haven't found any similar feature in GIMP.
Here's a sample of the txt file saved by Photoshop:

Do you have any idea show to solve this with GIMP? Is there any chance to implement this feature in the next version?

An action recorder is planned for the future. Not sure though if it will make it into the next version since it's quite a major change. If it's all about having a protocol of options and not necessarily about being able to replay them, then it should be possible to implement this w/o too much effort. If you want to dedicate a developer for it, we would certainly help him/her to locate the appropriate spots in the GIMP source code.
