Editing last stroke / modification through gimp plugins

Hey all. I have been writing small plugins using the python engine for quite a while, it is very nice and I appreciate the great batch functionality available.

I am interested in writing some functionality that deals with working with the last brushstroke. Ideally, I would be able to enable my plugin and it applies to all brush strokes (individually) until I turn it off, but I would also settle for just running it with a hotkey after making a stroke. I know these states must be stored somewhere because they are in the undo history. So far the only equivalent I have been able to come up with is to run a background thread that iterated over the canvas repeatedly to check if there are any deltas, and wait until no more are found, but obviously this is inefficient and inaccurate. Is there a better way available currently?

I am usually using python-fu style but I have also used the scheme engine for a few projects.

Thanks for your help.

No - the current PDB API + some extras in the Python bindings cannot "see" what the user
is doing with any tool. Nor is anything related to the undo history exposed for plug-ins.

Your described work around sounds like the only thing possible.

You might want to try "pyautogui" module to check for mouse-click/movements timing, as it might be more performant than checking for differences in the image.

Regards,
