Request: GIMP script update

Software GIMP
1

Hi there,

playing around in @partha 's latest GIMP 2.9.8/9 portable
with @patdavid 's Polaroid 600 Film Border Script from 2012, i got some errors and no output, not surprising :wink:

I’ve tried to act as supposed, but the first switch from gimp-image-add-layer to gimp-image-insert-layer stopped me, cause i’m not familiar with the arguments.

diff:
67,69c67,69
< (gimp-image-add-layer Image blackBorderLayer -1)
< (gimp-image-add-layer Image underLayer -1)
< (gimp-image-add-layer Image theLayer -1)

> (gimp-image-insert-layer Image blackBorderLayer -1)
> (gimp-image-insert-layer Image underLayer -1)
> (gimp-image-insert-layer Image theLayer -1)

As you can imagine, I’m another consumer, and you’re the experts :slight_smile:

Is it okay to ask here, if someone would be so kind to get in the script, and check what is needed to run with latest GIMP?

Best wishes

A lot easier to run Gimp 2.9.x using the switch --pdb-compat-mode=on

Add it to the Gimp 2.9 Windows launcher after the quotes

I don’t know why you are having a problem, but keep in mind the initial messages you received were not error messages. They were warnings about future changes to help script writers correct them before the they are fully implemented. Fixing them will not solve your problem.

@clennep As I mentioned in the email, there are not errors but warnings.

However, the script is not functioning as intended probably because there’s been a lot of changes since 2012! @patdavid needs to update/fix the script since I’m not sure what it’s supposed to accomplish.

Hope that helps.
