Filters > Repeat and Reshow.

In GIMP,
When you go to Filters > Repeat [filterA]  or Filters > Reshow [filterA]
Is this information like the procedure name of [filterA] and settings used for it stored somewhere?
If possible I'd like to access that information.
My goal is if possible to create a script that calls that procedure [filterA] with saved settings on visible layers.

This came up because Wallace asked for such a script and i looked for procedures named like 'last' and 'repeat' and nothing came up.
So I am hoping it's stored in some file. So I searched for 'last' and 'repeat' occurrences in my .gimp-2.8 folder and nothing came up and looked like what i am looking for.

Yes, this is kept around, but only in memory, and I don't see anything in the code that would hint that it is externalized.

To answer you other question on GimpChat, I don't know if this is stored before/after, but Gimp keeps a list of plugin calls (if only for the "Filters>Recently used" list...) so if it is not the first in the list it would be the second.

only in memory so there's no way to access it from a .py script then?

No, nay, never...
