Hi Folks - I was trying to add the Sepia script into Gimp (2.8.18, operating on Ubuntu 16.10), and got the following error. I have NO idea what this means or how to fix it, but it seems that I cannot access any scripts at all, never mind just the sepia tone script. Has anyone else run across this, and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks!

Garry

Plug-in "script-fu" (/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu) attempted to register the menu item "/Filters/Combine" for procedure "script-fu-pandora-combine".
The menu label given in gimp_install_procedure() already contained a path. To make this work, pass just the menu's label to gimp_install_procedure().

I don't know where the Sepia script is and you don't say where you got it, so it's hard to tell for sure. But pandora-combine is my panorama helper, and it registers a menu item "/Filters/Combine". Perhaps you already had Pandora installed, and the Sepia script is registering a menu item at the same place? Though I thought GIMP could have multiple plug-ins and scripts registering duplicate menu items without an error message (which of course ends up being confusing to the user).

You could try editing pandora-combine.scm (which you'll probably find installed in your personal scripts directory, perhaps the same place you've been installing the sepia script) and changing the line _"/Filters/Combine") to
_"/Filters/Pandora")

and the line _"/Filters/Combine/Arrange as Panorama..." to
_"/Filters/Pandora/Arrange as Panorama..."

(in the version I have, these are lines 101 and 104, but you may have a different version). I should probably make this change to Pandora anyway, to make it more obvious which menu items it creates.

If that doesn't work, you could post more info on this sepia script and where it comes from, and then people could check to see if they see a similar error and whether it registers /Filters/Combine.

It sounds like you have include a menu path in the script-fu-register call instead of setting the path for the menu in script-fu-menu-register.

In the script-fu-register block the first thing you specify is the name of the script function to be called. The second entry is the menu entry for script without any menu path.

You set the path by including a menu register call such as this:

(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-pandora-combine" "/Filters/Combine")
