I confirm also that the problem with the fill gradient in B/W applies only to the most recent version.
I was able to get back the previous version, reloaded with a different name not to override the last one, and I got fantastic gradient-fill results.
RobA: before you "hit" me, I've nothing against your script, it produces wonderful results, I'm sincere: All what I put here was -and is- to help you removing some pitfalls because I interpreted the role of a Gimp-Chatter acting also as a tester, so from time to time I perform a kind of "monkey test" on the plug-ins I find here.

Again - what version of Gimp are you using, and what language is installed on your machine?

I am unable to reproduce your issues.

-Rob A>

the last line of my FIRST reply was:
(my environment is Win 7 32 bits, Gimp now at 2.8.6, was 2.8.4 previously)

edit: Odinbc reproduced immediately my problem on messages (probably, he has my same environment)
I asked him to try also on the new version to confirm or not my tests, but so far I didn't get a reply in here

Gimp 2.8.6, Visa32, new v. MultiFill
(with Gradient fill options)

If I run MultiFill after samj Pursuit Curve, error message now,Rerun, unchecking 'Flatten After' result in no error, no loop & a black background.

If I run dinasset test image the result is the same as dinasset's image. Error 3 times, I hope that info helps.

thanks Odinbc!
so it seems this time win 7 32 bits has no responsibility: you Odinbc run Ubuntu 12x
curious to know whether with a partially filled in Pursuit you also get "strange" dilated colours, as me

edit: I read now better, you did the test on Win Vista, not Ubuntu, sorry

Found some time to get back to this.

The image in viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1221&hilit=multifill&start=80#p99780 produces exactly the results I'd expect. The filter uses the identified colour (white) and treats everything else, including transparent areas as "not white" (as this was written initially to deal with scanned art which would have no transparency, typically). A workaround to get the results you want would be to run multi-fill, take the original copied layer and do "Alpha to selection" then invert the selection and on the multi-filled layer hit the delete key to delete the original transparent layers.

I'm changing the script to transfer the transparency of the source layer to the final layer, as this would "make sense" from a user perspective if there is transparency in the source layer:


The error

appears to be a bug with the script-fu display window that randomly(?) occurs when calling "gimp-edit-blend" (as it ONLY happens with gradient modes). It is definitely repeatable, but random, since after adding additional debugging, it clearly happens for different sections even when rerunning on the same image repeated times.

If you runs the script and it causes this error, close the newly created image and rerun the script using ctrl+f (Filters->repeat) and it will run without the error... no matter how many times it is repeated (on my system) which is why I suspect the error is stemming from the gimp script-fu plugin when a script calls the gimp-edit-blend.

I also can't get it to happen from the scheme console, even when calling random fills in a tight loop, which lends more credence to the idea that it is a script-fu plugin GUI issue.

I'm changing the script to send errors to the error-log rather than the pop-up message box to the error is less intrusive.

Attached is an updated version - give it a try please and see if it does what you hope.

Thanks Rob for your support!
Downloaded and given some tests.
1.using the new version (random colours fill) on a PursuitCurve filled alternatively white/ transparency, gives the desired result (attachment RobATransp)
2.using the new version (gradient fill) on a PursuitCurve completely filled with white gives still B/W gradients, while the (old) Graechan version produces nice random coloured gradients (attachments RobAGradient, GraechanGradient).
Could you double-check? Thanks

Hi. There is an option. To use the fg-bg gradient, or random gradients. I could not remove the regular gradient options, as it is one I use regularly

Try it selecting the "Random" options rather than "FG to BG (RGB)".

-RobA>

OK, thanks Rob.
So far, I didn't change that parameter probably because -by using Graechan version- it is not required (maybe it does it by itself).
Yes, changing that parameter, I get coloured gradients, thanks.
Still one (very small) question: the default parameter says "FG to BG", but that's not true for me: I have BG / FG colours different from Black and White (I have and I tested having Red and Yellow), but if I leave that option the gradient produced is really Black to White, not BG to FG.
So, if this happens also in your environment, better to change the text, maybe...

I took the idea from the Graechan version but changed it a bit, so that parameter is necessary to select random or not.



Thanks for catching that.... I wasn't resetting the colours to the context colours before blending...

Attached is a version with that fixed. If it looks OK, I'll also update the GPR version.

Thanks for the feedback.

-Rob A>

OK Rob, it works as expected!
I had red and green as FG/BG and this is the result:

Sorry for bringing up old message, but I was wondering if anyone still uses this script for 2.8?

Hello everyone.
I´m a new gimp user and i think this plugin will work awesome for me but i can´t find it anywhere to download.
Could please someone give me a download link?
thanks in advance

I was able to find it. Quick question. Would it be possible to fill the shapes within black lines and then after delete those black lines while keeping the fill together?
Don´t know how to explain it correctly, i´m looking for a way to erase the black line and don´t leave any blank space within the filled shapes.
Thanks in advance

I'm not in the best position to answer you as level_0 but I think now this script is no longer needed since the release of Gimp 2.10.10 and filling by line detection

I still use this often. It's fun for coloring pages etc. especially with custom palettes, and it can create a version without black lines.
Attached version of script that works in 2.10. Menu entry: Filters/Flatting.
Make sure you have "flatten after" enabled, then you will end up with the original layer on top, and a flattened colored without the black lines on bottom. And 0,0 at ignore and flag areas, so that even the smallest areas are filled with the palette color.
It's pretty slow if your image is big and includes lots of areas to fill.

Thank you Nidhogg for these clarifications and the script.
It's amazing to see a 2011 script still running in 2019.
I will have fun with it.

Edit:
finally I am not very seduced by this filter and I prefer to use the current Gimp filling tool.

Thanks for your replies. I´m gonna try it.

When i fill with colors there are no problems, but when i try to fill with patterns or gradients i´m getthing this.
MultiFill Warning
Endless loop detected - flatting failed. Please uncheck 'Flatten After' and try again.

DO you have any idea on what could be the cause of this problem?
Thank you
