My Scripts don't show

Don't give up Molly.
Try five scripts at a time then refresh.Or even ten.
You can get it down to the faulty ones right quick that way.Done that myself.
Take all scripts out - throw in the first 10 - refresh gimps scripts.If you get an error, take 1 of those 10 out at a time until you get no errors.

OR just add them as you need them.

Well there are about 300 sitting in a folder called scripts to be sorted and tested. Hey I know what, All you scriptwriters, how about a script to test scripts like a volt meter.

I got all my scripts back into 2.6.11, there are some that are coming up with errors and I think it is due to the fact that a lot of them are the same but with different names. I find they are hard to sort out. I really think it is to do with all the xtn ones. I don't know,but still working on it.
I had to take out Partha's Gimp 2.7.4 because nothing was working on it, and it was conflicting with Gimp 2.6.11.
I wonder if I should put the Partha one on my flash cuz I really like it and the one window option.

I have voltmeters, but I'm not sure how they're going to help

lol. now see if you can make those into a script to test out script dupes.

paynekj · **Posted:** Wed Nov 09, 2011 4:35 pm **(#26)**

So I've used this one on the 120V range

and written a script to check for duplicate registrations in script files in a single directory. It registers itself in a "contributed" menu. It writes warnings using gimp-message, which means you will get pop-up boxes if you don't have the error console open.

Example warning:

Code: Select all

 Test For Duplicate Scripts Warning
duplicate: script-fu-kp24_white_balance in 
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6\scripts\zzkp24_white_balance.scm
 and 
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6\scripts\kp24_white_balance.scm

Which is reporting that the script script-fu-kp24_white_balance is in both these files:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6\scripts\zzkp24_white_balance.scm

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.gimp-2.6\scripts\kp24_white_balance.scm

If anyone considers this useful I'll have a go at getting it to automatically search all the user configured script folders instead of prompting the user.

Kevin

Update: I've re-written the script and attached it to this post

Hey Kevin, it worked. It came up with <4> I just saved the error console so I can route them out. thank you

BTW, it placed itself up in the bar across the top and it is called "contributed" How do I get rid of that and put it somewhere else?

Are these two considered to be the same?
Test For Duplicate Scripts Warning
duplicate: fp-script-fu-multi-edge-detect in
C:\Users\Molly\.gimp-2.6\scripts\fp-script-fu-multi-edge-detect.scm
and
C:\Users\Molly\.gimp-2.6\scripts\fp-script-fu-edge-detect-all-layers.scm

I changed the very first line to this Molly.
(define selfmenuroot "<Image>/Filters/Test for Duplicate scripts") ; Change these to suit yourself

Thanks Kevin!

So If I delete the scm I already installed and put the one you changed in will that take out that contributed at the top?

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 14709 **Location:** USA

Just change that first line in the one you installed and refresh scripts.

Or if you like...

Remove the other and
Just use this one.

I've hacked at my script a bit more. Now it gives you the option of checking all the scripts in all the directories you have defined in Edit >> Preferences >> Folders >> Scripts

It is also now checking properly where there is more than one script defined in a .scm file and I've made the progress bar keep you informed of how much is done.

Code: Select all

Test For Duplicate Scripts Warning
duplicate: script-fu-kp24_webname in 
D:\Profiles\kevin\.gimp-2.6\scripts\mine\kp24_webname.scm
 and 
D:\Profiles\kevin\.gimp-2.6\scripts\kp24_webname.scm

Test For Duplicate Scripts Warning
Finished. Found 169 register attempts

If this looks OK (and I'd welcome any comments about enhancements/coding style) then I'll upload it to GimpScripts

Kevin

p.s. My version still registers in a "contributed" menu. Edit the first line to put it where you want:

Code: Select all

(define selfmenuroot "<Image>/contributed")     ; Change these to suit yourself         

change to 
(define selfmenuroot "<Image>/Help")     ; Change these to suit yourself         

to put it in the Help menu for instance

(Personally I wouldn't put it under Filters because it doesn't do anything to an image)

Wow Kevin, I didn't know you were a script writer.
I just ran your script and included ALL scripts. It took about 15 min. I have a whole page of dupes and then some. I saved the error log to go through. The problem is when I reinstalled Gimp-2.6.11 it installs a lot of scripts. I also have my user/molly/.gimp folder with a lot of the same ones. The Question is: Do I delete the dupes out of the Program(x86) folder OR do I delete them from my user folder? This is going to take a lot of deleting either way.
Other than this, I think your script is excellent and will help a lot.

Molly,

15 minutes :shock:

There are 97 scripts that come with Gimp and should be in your Program(x86). The rest should be in your user folder(s). I've attached a list of the Gimp-supplied files for you to compare with, but it would be a good idea if someone else checked how many they have as I'm running 2.6.7 and it's possible there are some I've not got.

Thank you Kevin, I will start working on them.

oops, I forgot how to keep the mac from adding ".txt" to the file when I open it in text edit! Argh.

molly · **Joined:** Apr 07, 2010 **Posts:** 14182

Are you referring to the scripts? If so, just delete the .txt after the .scm.

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 14709 **Location:** USA

Thanks Kevin.This script will be real handy for everyone.
Perhaps a better menu would be help>check for duplicate scripts

zip attached with menu fix

I agree with Rod.
Kevin if you could add a place to type in one script to see if it is already in you files somewhere, that would be great.

I do believe that this script could save a lot of time and headaches.
Great job Kevin and thank you.

If you are looking to check for a single script, then I recommend the Procedure Browser (Help >> Procedure Browser) as you can search the description as well as the script procedure name.

This way you can check if you already have a suitable script before downloading a new one.

However I can see that it might be useful to be able to check downloaded scripts before installing them into one of your script folders, so I'll have a look at doing that.

And it would help if you could agree on a menu location and I'll make it appear there.

Thanks Kevin. I think in the help menu is a perfect place.

Edit: BTW, Where are these presets. I got a page of these when I ran the script the 3rd time to make sure I got all the dupes.

C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.6.11\share\gimp\2.0\scripts\iccii-convolution-presets.scm
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.6.11\share\gimp\2.0\scripts\convolution-presets_1.1.scm
I don't see anything in my scripts by those names.
