Okay, so I'm trying to add a new black layer as a background, but for some reason this line breaks my script:

bg = pdb.gimp_layer_new(img, img.width, img.height, 3, “BG”, 100, 0)

What am I doing wrong??

Hmm even when I comment the line out with #, gimp still doesn't even recognize the plugin. But if I completely delete the line, everything works fine.

I dont think you need the double quotes around BG.

Quotes are necessary, this is a string literal (unless there is a BG variable somewhere).

But the quotes as pasted above are wrong, these are not straight double-quotes ("") but opening/closing double quotes (“”).

Do not use a word processor to write code because it tries to be clever when it shouldn't, use a real programmer's editor (Notepadd++ or else) (which will also do real-time syntax highlighting, help with indentation, etc...

OMG! I had no idea there were different kinds of double quotes. Thank you!!!
