Quoting Helen :

In the previous verion of Gimp that I was using until recently, there was a Script-fu tab, with things like Old Photograph. That was gimp 2.2.10.

Now, I've upgraded to 2.4, and I no longer have the script-fu features.

Is there something I can do to recover this feature?

Almost all of the commands that used to be available under the Script-fu menu are still available; they've just been moved to more appropriate locations in the menus. Until you become familiar with their new locations, you can use the "Xtns->Plug-in Browser" to find the new location.

For example, typing "old photo" into the Plug-in Browser provides its location as being "Filters->Decor->Old Photo".

I'm sure there are other script-fu filters I had been running, but can't ask for them by name because I
don't remember what they were. But you did say "almost all ..." so I guess there are some that
were included in earlier versions but no longer? Is that the case? We've lost some?
Would it be too much to ask for a kind of rundown on what's been lost, what's still available?

I cannot give you that, however, if you open the Procedure Browser and search 'script-fu' all of the available scripts will show up in the list of procedures.

There were very few Script-fus that were "lost". Most were just relocated in the menus. A couple others were made obsolete because of improvements in other features -- for example, the 'save to brush' and 'save to pattern' are no longer needed because you can now "Edit->Paste as->Brush" and "Edit->Paste as->Pattern" (and better still, use your clipboard contents directly as a pattern or brush).

The only Script-fus I can think of that have been truly "lost" is a 'Blend' script written by Sven Neumann which would create an animated, fading transition between two layers, using a third layer as a backdrop, and a 'Flash' script (I believe also by Sven Neumann) which animated a white strip of light moving left-to-right across the image.

Both of those scripts are probably better accomplished with the GIMP Animation Package (GAP) but if you need them, I am sure that updated versions can be provided.
