I would love a Jack-style plugin system, in which i could actively route video or pictures through a series of filters. Then all you need is a wrapper to set up the filters and your processing is handled independently. >> Here would be my idea: A scripting window for commands, a graphics >> window which shows the image buffer, and also allows recording of >> mouse actions (as to script functions like select) > > Interesting.
