A reasoning on what you can do with scm on gimp 3.0

[vitforlinux]

If script-fu are placed in the "scripts" folder, they have a habitual and predictable behavior.

If I modify them and put them in "plugins" they have another one, changes must be added on purpose and sometimes you don't understand the mistake.

BUT if I put them in "plugins" Gimp 3.0 official appimage overcomes some problems that crash the script engine.

Now comes the problem, exactly like to be or not to be, I have to continue to use the "scripts" folder, or I have to arm myself and solve the problems it causes by moving them to "plugins".

I wouldn't want my "to be or not to be" to be Mel Brooks' film.

I think that long term you will have no option but to migrate to plug-ins. For this reason if you are modifying .scm scripts from GIMP V2 to V3 it may be better to bite the bullet now and convert them to V3 plug-ins.

Except that bizarre errors come out, and things like script-fu-util.scm or script-fu-drop-shadow are not found... and what works then doesn't work.

And strangely enough, things that shouldn't work work, so you don't understand how to fix the rest.

The only thing to do is to ask the Gimp developers what future awaits us...
