I would keep the newer script and delete the older one.
- If the script name contains a version number, I'd keep the new version.
- Otherwise I'd delete the one with the older file date.

If the scripts are indeed different scripts and you want both of them, then you'll need to change the script's internal name and the menu entry string.
But I really suspect that they are indeed duplicates and you only want to keep the newer one.

If you really want to know if the scripts are different, run them through a file comparison program.

A good Windows file comparison program is WinMerge - http://winmerge.org/
I assume Linux includes a similar utility.
Don't know anything about Mac's.

I have an easier solution! I just took out everything from my scripts folder and as I add it back in one at a time run the dup check script.

I did try changing the internal names and menu name and after a refresh and even a restart it didn't show. My only thinking is the people that write these script with duplicate names actually meant to replace the script that came with Gimp as the few I've looked at seem to be enhanced. Granted I'm no Gimp expert!

I know most of the scripts that I've collected along my travels have been from the Gimp Registry. So without going back and seeing actually how old the script is may be difficult. I'm sure at one point there was no 'users' folder to keep what Gimp came with and what you added separate.

Should be interesting!

Nope. From the beginning, Gimp was developed for linux which is inherently multi-user where the concept of a home/user/ folder is standard. Any user customizations get placed there. Anything in the program directory is common for all users. This would let different users have different configurations/settings with the program installed only once on the system.

Molly,

The second path does not look right. I think you may have installed my build in your home folder and somehow inside the user folder. Please use the control panel to completely remove gimp-2.7.4 and install my version in a separate location other than your home .gimp-2.7 folder. If you don't like to use gimp-2.7.4 as your default gimp (and I don't know why ), you can install the portable version on an USB drive.

Partha

She may install the portable also on the main HD
I suggest that instead then fight with messed up folders, also the portable has a .gimp "user folder" but since is portable is not in the user directory but contained inside.

A last suggestion if you are using 7 DON'T install the portable in Program Files
Install where you like, directly in C, or in Document but not in program files

because if is there Win 7 will prevent you in any way to add or remove script, plugins and whatelse

Right.

The only issue from a user perspective is that the with the regular version, you can have Gimp as the default program for your graphics file like jpeg, tiff, etc. With portable version, you cannot double-click and open a file with gimp. Other than this, you are all set.

I totally agree about Saul's script writing, I love every one of his scripts.

Molly,
You probably have the residue from testing Saul's scripts as they evolved.

I'd suggest deleting the three scripts you have and going to Saul Goode's site (http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/rep ... pt-fu/home) to get the current scripts. He currently has only two calendar scripts and there are no duplicate entries in them.

thank you, did you include the platonic calendar?

Thank you sir! I wasn't sure how Gimp progressed along the way for windows and I've really only been using linux on and off for about six years now. And the past year and a half really dove head first into the world of Gimp-dome! Don't mind standing corrected!

Now .. I just need to learn how to write these scripts! >O.o<

There's two calendar script files, Calendar and Platonic Calendar. The Calendar file contains two scripts (Calendar... and Calendar Year...), so there's a total of three scripts in the two files.
