Eye of Gnome lanch Gimp plugin.

>Eye of Gnome (eog) is an image viewer for Gnome, it is the default viewer for ubuntu. Gimp is an image editor, this plugin allows you to open gimp with the current image from eog.

At the eog main page you can find a short example on writing plugins for eog. I have written this plugin based on the python consol plugin that comes with eog.

If you are just interested in the plugin, eog plugin. Though the plugin is a little outdated because there is an 'open with' in the file menu.

First thing you need to create is a eog plugin file, I've named mine "gimplauch.eog-plugin"

Loader=python
Module=pythongimp
IAge=2
Name=Launch Gimp

Description=Python console for Eye of GNOME

Then you need the plugin itself, mine has been named "pythongimp.py"
