Just installed GIMP 2.6.5 for Windows. As usual after installing any GIMP version in any system, I tried to recover a script-fu I programmed months ago.

Under Filters I see a Script-Fu submenu with the options Console, Start server and Refresh scripts. My script doesn't appear under any of the Filters submenus. If I start the console and look for the main function defined in my script, she's there. But it appears as a "temporal procedure" (?)

What I find amazing is that none of the scripts stored in C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts appear anywhere either. Checked paths to scripts in program preferences and they're ok.

We dropped the Script-Fu menu completely as the user should not have to care about the programming language a particular function is implemented in. All scripts have been merged into the menus where they fit from a functionality point of view. Scripts that still try to register in the old Script-Fu menu are automatically redirected to the Filters menu. You can use the Plug-In Browser from the Help menu to locate them.

Sven,

I have only 6 scripts that appear under the Script-Fu menu in GIMP 2.6.4 -- but I use those scripts alot. I installed them by manually putting them in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.gimp-2.6

Tell me exactly how I would install those scripts in 2.6.5 and beyond and where would they appear in the menu?

I can give you more info about those scripts if you need it.

That can hardly work. You need to put them into the scripts folder in that directory.

That works exactly as in 2.6.4.

Yes, of course. Scripts in the scripts folder -- plugins in the plugin folder. I didn't think I had to be that explicit with you...

That works exactly as in 2.6.4.

So if/when I upgrade GIMP to some future 2.6 release, those scripts and plugins will be found just as they are now with 2.6.4?

Of course. Why do you ask this? Perhaps it is not clear to you that all 2.6 releases are just bug-fix releases. There are no new features being added. There are basically no changes at all, except for bug-fixes.

Sven

Thank you for your reply. That's good to know.

It's a nice idea, but why if I used to register the script under the "Alchemy" menu, it appears now under "Artistic"¿?

Because most items from the "Alchemy" menu have been moved to the "Artistic" menu. If I remember correctly we have discussed the new menus extensively on the gimp-developer list. So if you are interested, feel free to look this up in the archives.

About your script, please consider to adapt the position where it registers to the new menu layout.
