Thanks.

After installed script-fu.exe, the menu "Script-fu" and "FX-Foundry" disappeared.

I can't imagine the Script-Fu plug-in having any affect on menu options. I have a "Script-Fu" menu that's unaffected by adding the new Script-Fu plug-in. I guess you could remove it and see of those menus come back, but my guess is something else changed.

ok,so how exactly does that help with bevel logo?

This modification allows the Script-Fu interface to scroll when there are too many input items to fit on your screen. The Bevel Reflect Logo script makes use of quite a few input items, especially in the module invoked from File/Create/Logo.

If all of the options from Bevel Reflect Logo (or any script, for that matter) fit on your screen, this modification doesn't help. It is only useful when you need to scroll to get to options that have ran off your screen.

The number of options that can be seen on a given display depends on the resolution of the screen and the size of the fonts (or theme) being used.

ah ok
Thank You
But where do i download it too?

Just a thought, C:\Documents and Settings\Master\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins implies Windows XP
You put the plug-in there, what did you do with the existing plug-in in
C:\Program Files\Gimp 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

screenshot as example,


left side your Gimp profile, right side the Gimp installation folder with an inset of the plug-ins contents.

If not already done, rename the old script-fu.exe to maybe script-fu.bak.
Also this would be a better place for the new script-fu.exe

As it turns out, GIMP will use the first plug-in or script it encounters and it will ignore any other plug-in with the same name it finds afterward. It will search folders in the order they are listed under Edit/Preferences/Folders



In the above example, it will look in /home/gnutux/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins and if it finds a plug-in there, it will ignore any other copies it finds in /usr/local/lib//gimp/2.0/plug-ins.

Note: it will generate a "Duplicate Plug-in Found" message at the console, but unless you are monitoring console messages, you'll never see it.

A small correction. Your statement is NOT true for scripts. You will get the last script found if there are duplicates as GIMP silently replaces the previous definition with the latest one.

Kevin

I remember running into that a couple years back and I remember asking for a script to find duplicate scripts and Kevin wrote one and it works great.
The script lists all the dupes and makes it very easy to remove the ones you don't want.

I just tested it. You are right about one thing. It doesn't warn you about the duplicate script. However, it displays the correct input items in the dialog from the first one it encounters. When I ran it though, I got an error message.

If it wasn't loading the first one it encounters, I would have gotten the old input dialog from the 2nd one, but I didn't. I got the dialog from the first one it encountered.

I'm not sure exactly what's happening. It must be loading pieces of each script.

I removed the script-fu.exe. I openned GIMP and the menus came back again.
I watched my folder plug-ins. There's no other script-fu plug-in there.

@Tux, when I used to have a lot of dupes, none of the scripts would work, If I duped one of the ones that came with the Gimp package into my user scripts they didn't work. I don't remember getting errors but the script just plain didn't work. I mentioned this in a post, so Kevin made the script at that time. The duplicate script tells you exactly the path where they all are.

Carlos, try rich2005's suggestion. There would be no other script-fu.exe in your user plug-ins folder, but there would be one in your system plug-ins folder.

As rich2005 suggests, back up the old script-fu.exe first in your system plug-ins folder and then copy in the new one. That way, if you have problems, you can restore the original.

@Molly - Yes, duplicate scripts of different names in the scripts folder have always given me trouble. I can't say I remember ever having exact same script-fu script in two different folders in GIMP's search path. There is definitely something strange happening in that case, but it's not a replacement of one with the other. It looks like bits of both are being used. I'd consider that a bug.

Maybe,
Mine all happened before I knew what the difference between a 2.0 script and a .gimp/user scrip were.
I have kept in the habit of running Kevin's dupe script every couple months just in case.
If it is a bug, it can probably be fixed... another Tux project.

@Tux

You've prompt me to check a bit more thoroughly

With duplicates you get the first script-fu-register found, but the last definition of the executing code - much confusion ensues.

Kevin

I removed the old plugin "script-fu.exe from "C:\Arquivos de programas\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins". I put the new plugin there. I openned theGimp. The menus FX-Foundry and Script-fu disappeared again.

That is odd behavior, but it's what I'm seeing, as well.



I'm not sure what might be happening, Carlos.

What version of Windows are you using?

What version of GIMP are you using?

Are you using the 32bit plug-in or the 64bit plug-in?

I'm using the 32bit plugin.
My OS: Windows XP.
Gimp versiom: 2.8.10

Carlos, MareroQ said there might be some problems with the 32 bit version but most users aren't having any problems.

Can you run gimp from a command prompt to see of there are any messages that might give us a clue as to what is happening?

Perhaps the fact that I've applied the updated code to the latest version of script-fu-interface.c is causing problems with GIMP 2.8.10 on some machines. You are the first who has reported problems with the latest script-fu-interface code , but I can take a look into that possibility.
