Unfortunately with Arrow I wasn't successful, even by updating ArrowV3 Original I get an error that I can't explain, and I can't resolve it.

Now that the goalposts have (hopefully) stopped moving I will update all my scripts, including the arrow script, for 3.0.0 RC1

Many thanks and best wishes for the complex work.

I have uploaded a new version of arrow_V3.scm at the usual place:

http://programmer97.byethost10.com/Files/arrow.zip

This needs GIMP V2.99.19 V3.0.0 RC1 produced on or after 4 November 2024 to run. It should also work with GIMP V3.0.0 when it is eventually released.

Let me know of any problems.

Just today the configuration folder moved from ~/.config/GIMP/2.99 to ~/.config/GIMP/3.0 but your arrowV3 filter placed in the right folder works fine.

Today's Gimp is missing some plug-ins, but ArrowV3 doesn't use them thankfully.

Thank you very much!

I have uploaded an updated version of the arrow script. Three ugly sections of code that I added to get around the changes to some of the PDB functions that no longer take the length of a supplied array as a parameter have been replaced by a more elegant solution.

If you are going to make any changes to the script then please use this latest version, rather than the previous one, as the basis.

I saw your other post and it looks like the zip has not been updated yet.

Downloaded twice today, and it is chase the error. fixed line 471 and 472 but this one stopped me
Execution error for 'Arrow':
Error: eval: unbound variable: gimp-image-get-active-layer

A bit of a struggle to download the up-date but got there eventually.  Many Thanks.

As a sanity check I have just downloaded the version that I posted on the 7th November and there are no calls of gimp-image-get-active-layer or gimp-image-get-selected-vectors; so I'm not sure why you were getting problems.

PS
I thought it was egg on face time then. Having just had the GIMP development flatpak update the arrow script didn't appear in the menus. The issue was that (for Linux Mint) the new version of GIMP stores the scripts etc in .config/GIMP/3.0 while the version I was using stored them in .config/GIMP/2.99. The new version hadn't migrated the scripts.

Encountered that, too, today.
GIMP started as if it were brand-new and didn't see the previous version.
Copied all by hand.
