GIMP integrated

Can you tell me if it is possible to use Fly-pie on internal resources of the GIMP program ? For example, to change the brush size, transparency, or select a different brush, eraser, etc.

Hi there! I think that GIMP does not have any sort of API Fly-Pie could talk to. So initially, you are limited to what you can do with hotkeys. So if there is a hotkey for an action, a Fly-Pie item could simulate this hotkey.

For many parts this will be sufficient, but if you want to do more advanced stuff, like changing the selected foreground and background color, this will not be sufficient anymore.

If you are adventurous, you could write a plugin for GIMP. There are two ways how such a plugin could talk to Fly-Pie:

1. The plugin could expose some sort of API, for instance via D-Bus, which Fly-Pie could talk to. So the plugin exposes a function for changing the brush and a Fly-Pie command-item runs a command to call this function.
2. The plugin opens custom Fly-Pie menus itself. Fly-Pie has an API to open menus via a CLI. You could use this from the GIMP plugin to open entirely custom menus and do whatever you want in response to the items selected by the user.

All that being said, I encourage you to have a look at Kando as it will eventually replace Fly-Pie. At least from my side - maybe somebody else continues to support Fly-Pie, but I will move to Kando in the future.
