| Post subject: | very old scripts |
GIMP Version: 2.10.14 Operating System: Windows GIMP Experience: New User  I am trying to clean a "scripts" folder (gimp-data-extras-2.0.4) and all the ones I wanted to test are unusable with error messages, and the one that comes up often is "Error : (: 1) eval: unbound variable: NORMAL-MODE ". Is there any modification I could make with notepad ++ to fix this but is it really worth it ??? |

Gimp-data-extras-2.0.4 includes 47 scripts: ...scripts obsoleted in GIMP 2.10 ('File > Create' and 'Filters > Alpha to Logo' and update some PDB use to match changes in 2.10 ... Tin Tran create 2 plugins for fixing basic errors: GIMP10 Constantize Plug-in https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=3 ... onstantize GIMP10 Constantize Batch Plug-in https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2097 Gimp-2.10 tolerates a lot of bugs because it still works in many cases with the compatibility mode with the older version of the procedures - but it is not known how long deprecated will be accepted.  When I try to fix something I am also trying to repair the deprecated (but still accepted ones) - sometimes it's simple and quick, but some scripts or plugins requires knowledge of the basics of coding - and it can take up to 1 hour to improve. Is it worth repairing them? I think so that you can try at least once and decide if it will be useful for me now (and maybe someday and archive it in a package, e.g. zip) |

MareroQ To choose which filters to repair, I first need to see the effects they produce. However, I wanted to test the filters in the gimp-data-extras-2.0.4 folder because I didn't know any. Discovery.. So I don't know which ones are likely to interest me! ..... |

Constantize is a quick fix, the bad side is that if you get that old script working with it alone (old scripts have sometimes other errors too) your image will switch to legacy mode. If you want to use the new layer blending modes that were introduced in 2.10 you have to switch back to default. That's why I recently started to fix manually. Using constantize replaces NORMAL-MODE with LAYER-MODE-NORMAL-LEGACY (Gimp 2.8), in 2.10 default is LAYER-MODE-NORMAL.

Hi Nidhogg. Not necessarily so - when the old scripts were created there was one mode (now called "Legacy") - and to get the effect that the script author had planned, the old modes should be used. |

I see MareroQ. I want to avoid Legacy Mode and prefer to use the 2.10 default when possible. Are there differences? I compared some legacy modes with the default and they looked exactly same. |

3D Outline First script from " Gimp-data-extras-2.0.4" - update to new features Gimp-2.10 (especially vertical text). Rel 2: procedures adapted to Gimp-2.10, added adjust and text direction. @Level_0 What is Your progress? @Nidhogg I don't see the difference either  - but in some cases it does.

Thank you so much for your constant update of those old scripts. I am happy they work again.
