Good catch! I had some old code from when it was just png.

Change this:

I've updated the attachment two pages back.

I thought the choice of changing procedures - perhaps unnecessarily.
Now it works OK.
Thank you very much - You are wonderful!

Ps.
"Local Settings" has properties - hidden (unavailable for some programs).
How to in Shellout set the location ( select - important to override the file ) of the file (ShellOutTempFile) in another directory ? Can I change the code to write ShellOutTempFile in a specific directory?
Optimally selected in Preferences-> Folders-> Temporary Folder.

I just call pdb.gimp_temp_name which provides an appropriate temporary file and directory. If you want to specify it uncomment out the first line and comment out the second one in this bit of code:

Another GIMP instance
Use -n to run multiple instances GIMP. For example, use gimp-2.6 to start GIMP in the default system language, and LANGUAGE=en gimp-2.6 -n to start another instance of GIMP in English; this is very useful for translators.
ShellOut (0.7) is also a way to simultaneously run multiple versions of the GIMP (XP 32bit)- the transfer of image and language selection (to 2.6 - in the 2.7 range in the preferences).

Edit the path and choose the LANGUAGE:
for example :multigimp-2.6.bat


for example multigimp-2.7.bat


ShellOut programlist = [

That is cool; can now run GIMP 2.8 64-bit but still have access to all the cool GIMP 2.6 plugins too. Thanks MareroQ. I doubt Mathmap, for instance, will ever get ported to 64-bit GIMP. It will slow things down a bit to do things though; may even continue to run 2.6.12 32-bit because of that because of 64-bit lack of support (mini wishlist to include PSPI, Mathmap, and Filter Factory (user filter) Convertor). Not sure I would even really use he new features in 2.8, but then again.... lol

Thanks Marero, now i can load Gimp-2.6 and use the python word art plugin through Gimp-2.7.

Never thought about going the other way Rod; isn't Shellout grand? I say yes. Shellout is a game changer no doubt. Indeed, I might actually have GIMP 2.6.12 call out GIMP 2.8x for the few features that I may need in the new GIMP since I know the GIMP plugins that I can not live without won't get ported to GIMP 2.8 64-bit immediately (and maybe never).

Shellout is an awesome addition to the program, and i recommend it to all those who use Python-Fu.
It definitely changed the way i use Gimp, and some Adobe plug-ins that PSPI seems to have a hard time with.
Thanks again Rob, and MareroQ!

I tried to run shellout for GIMP 1.2.4 but keep getting a libgtk0.dll can't be found or something like that. I even tried to include the path for this library to no avail. Not too important but wish that it could be done. Oh well.

Just out of curiosity
