List any ERROR messages you received:
Error while executing script-fu-kp24_test_for_duplicate_scripts:

Error: (<unknown> : 53283677) syntax error: illegal token 1

I'm doing a complete inventory on my GIMP - is there any point retaining this script given the error message I get every time I run it?

You probably have an extra parenthesis in there somewhere i imagine. Its a grand script. It looks for scripts that are the same and can conflict with each other. I would hold on to it.

Thank you Rod, it does what it says on the can.

Anytime. Happy to help. I haven't seen Kevin around in a while. He could tell you more about it.
You can also search for the script in advanced search. Make sure and select search forum "scripts and plug-ins"

I downloaded it as well. Looks to be very useful.

Does it check just by name or is it more advanced than that? I have quite a few scripts that perform the same general task. It would be nice to thin them down. But I don't know if they're different enough to justify keeping them.

It's checking for duplicate function names because having duplicates can cause unexpected problems.

I've been coming here regularly. Most of the time I just don't have anything to contribute.

I checked for duplicate scripts and I get this error:


I also have a duplicate script here:


My question is how do I get rid of the duplicate script?

What have you set the logging to?

If you have it set to "Too Much" then a lot of information is saved into the duplicate_scripts.txt log file. With that we can try and find which file is causing the "Illegal token" error.

That error is preventing the script from displaying where your duplicates are.

I didn't have the logging set. The logging is set to none. I tried setting it to Everything and I still got the illegal token error. I also tried logging it as duplicates only. Still managed to get the error. I also tried logging it as Too Much. Still got the same error.

[paynekj]

The point in setting the logging was to create the log file to try and find out where the problem is happening, by looking in the duplicate_scripts.txt log file. It wasn't ever going to cure the problem.

So set the logging to "Too Much" and post the resulting log file here.

The file has nothing on it but I still have a duplicate script.
