Gimp.gimpresourceselect

A resource selection dialog.

An adapter and proxy between libgimp and core. (see Adapter and Proxy patterns in programming literature.)

Proxy: to a remote dialog in core. Is a dialog, but the dialog is remote (another process.) Remote dialog is a chooser dialog of subclass of GimpResource, e.g. GimpBrush, GimpFont, etc.

Adapter: gets a callback via PDB procedure from remote dialog and shuffles parameters to call a owner's callback on libgimp side.

Generic on type of GimpResource subclass. That is, the type of GimpResource subclass is passed.

Responsibilities:

- implement a proxy to a chooser widget in core

Collaborations:

- called by GimpResourceSelectButton to popup as a sibling widget - PDB procedures to/from core, which implements the remote dialog (from via PDB temp callback, to via PDB procs such as gimp_fonts_popup) - plugins implementing their own GUI
