If you are running 2.6 that is probably the reason for the error.If that is the case you will have to fix the deprecations in the script itself.Run Gimp-2.6 and open the procedure browser.Type in
You will probably see only gimp-image-add-layer in Gimp-2.6 and the PDB call in Gimp-2.8 is INSERT not ADD.
Changing that in every instance may help you.I am not positive it is gimp-image-add-layer because i don't have gimp-2.6.11 installed right now.But it will be something similar.

I will install gimp-2.6 and make sure.

@Rod,

I know little about editing scripts, I did however look at the script in 'wordpad', but can't find where I should make the change. It does say the the script is for 2.8 though.

I didn't find any match using 'procedure browser' for 'gimp-image-insert-layer' or 'gimp-image-add-layer' for this script.

It is there
I couldn't get gimp-2.6 to run correctly so i typed in gimp-image-add-layer and got the deprecation entry.

The call in the script would look like this
(gimp-image-insert-layer img bokeh-layer 0 pos) because it takes 3 parameters
image
layer
and layer position

You want to change all instances of gimp-image-insert-layer with gimp-image-add-layer.
DO NOT change the parameters.

I can almost guarantee you will get a different error after though.Then you will have to do it again for the next deprecation.It could go on and on and on and on....

Then again it may work right off the bat.

I only found 'one' instance of 'gimp-image-insert-layer' in each script and changed them to 'gimp-image-add-layer'.
I ran the script again using 'free-form-auto-bokeh' on an image with a few minor selections and this is the error I now get.
Anyway... I have a feeling no matter how I edit this script, I'm going to have issues with it. Thanks Rod for helping out as much as you did, but I think I'm going to pack it in and remove this script altogether.

You could contact the author via the registry and ask for a 2.6.11 version.He is a pretty cool guy and would probably help you out. :bigthup

Many scripts are now being updated to , and written for Gimp-2.8 and gimp-2.6 is quickly becoming obsolete.Updating to Gimp-2.8.4 may be your best bet.Authors running Gimp-2.8 are going to most likely use that PDB for their filters.You wouldn't want to miss out on any new filters that may be coming up.

Many folks still seem to want to hold on to 2.6 because of it's stability, but i find Parthas 2.8 version very, very stable.Too each his own i guess.
