hello kevin,

if you are writing scripts for use in your personal computer, you can do what I do: all the scripts that i wrote began with "andrei_". so, when i look at the scripts directory, i know that all the "andrei_xxx.scm" files didn't come with GIMP.

Anyway, my GIMP directory has two directories that can interest you:

\_gimp1.2.Andrei _gimp1.2.somebody

they have subdirectories to scripts, brushes, etc. I don't remember if i tried install the scripts in them... But, if there are something like that in your GIMP installation, you could try and tell to the list what happens :-)

bye,
andrei

bye,
andrei

Hello Andrei -

Yes, I do have the scripts directory, that's not the problem. The problem is that I don't have a preferences item available in the gimp UI to tell the
gimp where to look for user-written scripts. The default scripts directory that the gimp created isn't adequate, since the gimp located that in an individual user-specific subdirectory, while I want to use the same directory for all users on my machine. And, I don't want to put user-written scripts in the same directory as the gimp-supplied scripts.

hello Kevin,

My GIMP has a scripts directory. If you can't find it, look for *.scm

files

(GIMP comes with a lot of scripts, so they must be somewhere in your computer), using File Manager.

good luck! andrei

Hello,

I'm using gimp 1.2.4 under Windoze 2K, and am about to embark upon

creating

some script-fu scripts. For plug-ins, there is a Directories->Plug-Ins setting in the gimp Preferences dialogue where you can specify the directory
for user-defined scripts. Reading Mike Terry's web pages on script-fu,

it

appears that there ought to be a similar setting for scripts, but there isn't one as far as I can tell. How does the gimp know where to find user-defined scripts?

I would strongly prefer not to add my scripts to the gimp installation directory along with the install supplied scripts. Also, I would like

for

my scripts to be available to all users on my machine, rather than only

to

a
specific user, so I would prefer to have my user-defined scripts

directory

under "\Documents and Settings\All Users", rather than under the subdirectory for the installing user which gimp appears to use by

default.

Thanks in advance for any help.
