I was using GIMP gap to edit some text and animate it, when I chose one of the effects i got this error and similar ones with other stuff... Any help.

which effect ?
what " the similar ones " said ?
And are error or warning ?

the difference is simple if errors the plugin abort, if warning it does well his job but mumbling and popping complains

That code looks as though it may be from one of my scripts written for GIMP version 2.2 (nearly six years ago); as such it has nothing to do with the GAP plug-in and it is too old to work with the version of GIMP you have installed. You need to search your scripts for one called "Letter Drop" or somesuch, and remove it.

If I recall correctly, I have never updated the script for GIMP 2.4 or GIMP 2.6, though perhaps someone else has. I did attempt earlier this year to create an updated version, but experienced some hardware failures* whilst in the middle of that task and have never gotten back on track (after months of cobbling things together with duct tape and baling wire, I have finally bought a new computer, which I just got operational yesterday).

Maybe after the holiday season, I will investigate creating a version for GIMP 2.8


* I'm not sure whether curiosity will actually kill the cat but leave your case cover off your computer for too long** and that feline curiosity will certainly effect the demise of temperature-sensitive, fan-cooled components on that computer's motherboard in short order.

** "Too long" in this instance was about 90 seconds.

i also have 1 maybe 2 different copy of the script that works on 2,6 and,with a few warnings even on 2.7

But the script had some glitches that may cause crashes or anyway delusive result,if i remember well the bigger issue was with
the font size...if the font was not available at the exact sizes requested the script would abort

Ok i think I was confused the other was just me doing it wrong.

So it is that script right thanks. I just downloaded GAP and the person had added some scripts in so yeah it must have been out of date.

Thanks for your help.
