I've written several PyGimp plugins, but when I go to the 'recent filters' menu or try to rerun one, it is disabled. I can run it okay and it produces the expected results, but I can't rerun it.

to clarify, I'm using the simple gimpplugin.plugin class (GimpFu is far too heavyweight and slow for something with no UI needed)

Here's a super-simplified plugin just to demonstrate this. How do I get it to be rerunnable?

(pasted here as well as attached, in case the attachment is filtered out by the mailing list software.)

#!/usr/bin/python import gimp,gimpplugin
from gimpfu import PLUGIN, PF_INT, PF_IMAGE, PF_DRAWABLE, PDB_SUCCESS pdb = gimp.pdb
import os

class Simple(gimpplugin.plugin): def query(self):
d = ''
gimp.install_procedure('plug_in_simple', d,d,d,d,d,'/File/Simple_Test', '',PLUGIN, [( PF_INT, 'run_mode', "run mode"),(PF_IMAGE, 'image', 'Image'), (PF_DRAWABLE, 'drawable', 'Drawable')]
, [])

def plug_in_simple(self, run_mode, image, drawable): return # returning PDB_SUCCESS doesn't help, nor does returning None (as gimpfu.py does)

def start(self): gimpplugin.plugin.start(self)

if __name__ == '__main__': Simple().start()

I think the better question is why is it runnable at all? The install_procedure call has an argument of '' for image types it can work on; since you're under the , this should be dynamically changed based upon the characteristics of the image under it. Try using a type of '*' instead, or RGB* if you want to be more specific, and see if that helps.

Yes, that was exactly what's needed. Looks like '' means 'image is irrelevant' while '*' means 'all'.

Kevin: Nope; read more carefully. it did show up, it just wasn't rerunnable
