Hi techy peeps.
I have been trying to do Conbagui's "Gold & Black"
tutorial today and ran into a problem when I tried to run the 3d-text script in step 9.
Every time I ran it I would get the above error.
I tried different settings and various other things to no avail.
I understand script-fu but as the script variables are all named in Dutch, it was a little difficult to decipher. I spent some time translating and trying to understand the script.
I know why it throws the error listed above. The 'gimp-drawable-transform-2d-default' is leaving a floating selection, and until it is 'anchored' you cannot select a different layer as active.
But why is the floating selection layer being left?
I tried opening the attached xcf on my other machine - same problem.
I downloaded a new copy of the script (avail in molly's post in the same tutorial), same issue.
I finally created a new xcf with a single text layer and it works fine.
If I drag the text layer from the attached (faulty) xcf file to another image, the script runs fine without error.
So can someone please try to run the 3d-text script on the attached xcf and see if it works for them.
If not, what is wrong with the attached xcf file
I have wasted hours today wondering what the issue is without success.
Please help
