With the new version, 1.5, I still get the same error. (Post 136)

I tested version 1.5 and luckily everything is OK! :bigthup

In addition to not needing manual adjustments (CUSTOM, LINEAR), it also solved a small problem that made it difficult for the selection to be deselected. (at least with my Gimp).

"This procedure lets you set the specified gradient as the active or "current" one. The name is simply a string which corresponds to one of the loaded gradients. If no matching gradient is found, this procedure will return an error. Otherwise, the specified gradient will become active and will be used for subsequent custom gradient operations."

mackenzieh, Does this problem occur with any selected gradient?
If you pre-select the gradient before running the script does the error continue?

Krikor, yes, if I pre-select the gradient before running the script, and then run it on default settings, the error still occurs.

I tried running the script with the default settings and changing the the gradient and I still get an error.

There is nothing we can do if you have the 'Metallic Something' gradient or any gradient for that matter it should run without the gimp-context-set-gradient error try deleting and re-installing the script. also open it in text browser to make sure it is V1.5

I finally got it to work. When I tried it, the entire image with the text didn't get filled in with the gradient, only part of the image was filled with the gradient.

This is what I get when I run the script:

I don't see the gradient on the background, only the text. I used default settings.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that layerfx have this filter, it's called "Stroke". It gives you the three option "Color, gradient or pattern".

You're right, it does. For some reason, for me, Gradient Stroke V1.5 doesn't produce the outcome in the example on page one. I'm using LayerFX-2.10, so that could be why I'm not seeing what I want when using Gradient Stroke V1.5.

If you mean you want the text (black area in your image) filled with the gradient, you can run the script again with Stroke Depth zero as explained in the first post of the thread.

Teapot, that's not I mean. I mean the gradient itself isn't showing up as the background and it should.
