Help! Script-fu gegl:gegl works on only some of my third party filters

I am talking about the custom script fu for calling GEGL that can be found here.
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Scrip ... operations and BIMP

Inside BIMP gegl:gegl works on some of my third party filters but not all of them.

Here are the list of operations it works with and can be automated with BIMP.

Code: Select all

pixel-wheel 
starburst 
starfield 
fog 
antique 
metallic 
sand-text 

HERE ARE OPERATIONS IT DOES NOT WORK WITH

Code: Select all

bevel
clay
glossy-balloon
effects 
rock-text
edge-extract

There are likely more but I choose them for being text styling filters. (outside of edge-extract

I have not figured out why and I need to know. As I want to automate things with GEGL and GMIC using BIMP. My hypothesis is that the hidden operations these filters depend on is causing this. As many of my filters require several binaries to work. However
pixel-wheel works and it has one hidden (zz) binary operations it depends on. And Edge-Extract has no zz operations yet it still doesn't work. Showing evidence against my hypothesis.

Can someone please investigate why Script Fu's gegl:gegl can read some of my third party GEGL filters but not all of them. If we can figure this out I can do amazing automations with GEGL, Script Fu and GMIC. In the meantime I'll just have to manually make graphs of my filters.

So there are three things I know so far.

1. It likely doesn't have to do with hidden zz operations I use.

2. Putting gegl: in front of the title doesn't resolve it.

3. Putting the GEGL Operation in the systems GEGL doesn't resolve it.

Someone please figure this out and I will be great ful. I am already doing some really cool things with GEGL and GMIC.

These following strings also don't work and they are native gimp operations. The operations work but not particular strings like these.

Code: Select all

gegl:median-blur radius=10 percentile=322 alpha-percentile=80

Code: Select all

emboss type=bumpmap azimuth=74 elevation=510 depth=4

Code: Select all

median-blur radius=10 alpha-percentile=80 high-precision=yes

works.

Code: Select all

median-blur radius=10 percentile=322 alpha-percentile=80 high-precision=yes

does not work

Sitll, no freaking clue why Script Fu doesn't take valid GEGL Syntax from native Gimp filters.

I try to use Solid Noise with one of my plugin; Python for calling GEGL and did not work either.

Okay I figured out how to get Median and Emboss to work. They had invalid values of percentile at 322 and elevation at 510. Far beyond their actual values. I still do not know why some of my custom filters are not working.

Might want to talk to Rob A. See if he knows why.
