Hi Bill,

I like the idea. This adresses one of the major slow-down factors in using  
Gimp seriously.

Like many things in Gimp , the tools are there and are good, it's just a  
lot of clicking to get them.

Since you seem to have gone a long way to implementing something workable  
that could be dovetailed into any eventual "tags" feature, it would be  
good to see support or comments from Peter's team to enable this to move  
forwards.

This would definately be an asset to Gimp.

regards, gg

(I guess I should leave the tabs in the title so as not to break the  
threading in gimp-dev archive, not sure who added that ;-)
