How to get if the buffer is empty or not

Hi,

i'm developing a script that insert the clipboard as a layer (its based on older existing scripts) and to avoid error messages to the user i'd like to check up wether the clipboard is empty or not. How to do that?
If you interested this script could bundeled with next version of Gimp. I register it to "Image/Edit/Paste as" like "Paste as brush" or "Paste as Pattern".

Thanx.

Karamba! Bart.

Maybe Script-fu has a similar capability, anyway this is natural to express in Python:

try:
floating = pdb.gimp_edit_paste(image.active_layer, False) except RuntimeError:
# code that executes if gimp_edit_paste causes a runtime error goes here. I would expect this to just be the following: return

Huh? How is that different to what Edit->Paste does?

and to avoid error messages to the user i'd like to check up wether the clipboard is empty or not. How to do that?

You can't easily do that. However the error messages are of course a bug and IIRC there's a bug report for this. Most probably even on the 2.4 milestone.
