I seem to have some sort of conflict when refreshing scripts. Anyone else get this error?

Looks like the message is a conflict from FX-Foundry, which is not surprising. That project was pretty much a disaster. The peeps putting it together included older versions of a few of my scripts. The error message you are getting references "Glass Effect Text" script. Check to see that you don't have duplicates of that script. You should remove the FX-Foundry version and keep this version.

Thanks GNUTUX. I already had that one so after reading your post, I figured the conflict must be with one of these two.

GLASS_SCRIPT_FU_runs_on_on_2_4_by_kward1979uk.scm
glass_selection.scm

I removed all copies everywhere, even did a search and confirmed there were no other copies, refreshed scripts and no error message. I then placed the glass-text-v1-1 in my 2.0 scripts folder and the message popped up again. Evidently the conflict is somewhere else. Having said that, glass-text-v1-1 is only used from File>Create>Logos(gimpchat.com)>glass effect text and it only creates text correct?

Both of the ones I listed above work on anything selected, text or otherwise. I delete yours and there seems to not be a conflict between the other two. Your thoughts?

That error is most probably contained within the script glass-text-v1-1. Can you post either a link to where you got it from, or the contents of the script file please and we should be able to point out what is wrong.

Just as an example of a script that will give the same error message:



If it uses script-fu-menu-reigister then it shouldn't have the full menu path in the script-fu-register block:

Corrected code snippet:

The error message states the conflict is from: <Toolbox>/Xtns/FX-Foundry/Logos .

Get rid of the FX-Foundry version and you should be OK.


My script (Glass Effect Text V1.1) is designed to quickly create Logos from user input fonts/dings.


If I were you, I'd keep Glass Effect Text V1.1 for quick logo creation and kward1979's script, which I believe works off a selection. That covers all bases. I'd just dump the outdated duplicate FX-Foundry script that's causing the conflict.

The problem is caused by having multiple scripts (old and new) that have the same procedure names. Unfortunately, FX Foundry files are hard to find (that aren't identified as such, by the filename itself) so in Linux, I use grep to find the files with the same procedure names and remove the ones I don't want. Now, in Windows, I have no idea what the process is for doing the same. I don't recall ever being able to just remove an entire FX Foundry pack in one click (using Windows) but you can in Linux using Synaptic, but unfortunately it also removes all the Registry files as well.

I warned Alexia at the very beginning of Fx_Foundry against change file script names but she preferrd go on editing original name

As far i know no way in Win to quickly identify conflcting clones osf script

@ paynekj

good tips that often happened to me when trying too quickly to edit the registration paths of scripts and i saw that also in several script but only now thank to your post i understand were exactly was the error

The old familiar take one of these out of the scripts folder error.

I had a chance to look further into this and it turns out the glass-selection.scm script is based on the original glass text script I released some time ago. You probably don't need this script being kward1979's script does basically the same thing.

Below are the old versions of my scripts from FX-Foundry. You should dump all three of those and go with the new versions I have stuck here in the scripts section.
xtns-mosteller-glass-text.scm
xtns-mosteller-lava-logo.scm
xtns-mosteller-multi-effect-text.scm

That should fix your errors.

Well that was it. I deleted those three and the glass-selection and the other two worked just fine with no error message. Many thanks to all of you

What about these other scripts? Are there any known problems with them?

Glad to hear your have the problem resolved.


I can't really comment on specific scripts you have listed there but as PhotoComix mentioned, it was a big mistake for the packagers of FX-Foundry to rename those scripts from their original titles. There's no telling how many conflicts were caused by that decision. They also relocated where the scripts were registered on the menus and sometimes made arbitrary changes that resulted in broken scripts.

Personally, I think you're better off just dumping FX-Foundry all together. You could extract all the foundry scripts to their own folder and check them out one at a time. If you find a script you like, search down the original version and replace the bastardized FX-Foundry script with the original. That might allow you to avoid future headaches

I use only the ones with FU in the beginning of the name and they all work pretty well.
No problems yet anyways *knock on wood*

For sure ALL scripts that included & required some dependency (as for GnuTux script extra patterns and gradients, or as for Photo-Effect some extra Gimpressionist preset, or level or curve curves preset, or...) ALL went broken
