Script Fu top menu

[Dutchy]

Hi all,

- Gimp2 version, 2.8.22

As I did in the past, I click on Filters in the top menu then on Script Flu and then on Refresh Scrips. After that script flu appears in the top menu.

Yesterday I found out that it doesn`t appear anymore, I re-installed GIMP2 but that did not fix this issue.

Is this a bug or has something changed from a certain GIMP2 version?

Screenshot attached.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Gimp has caught a cold

The only reason why you might want to go that route is: With Gimp running, put a script-fu .scm file in ./gimp-2.8/scripts folder, refresh to load the script.

Is that what you are doing?

Can you give details of the script that does not show. Zip it and post here if possible. I am always dubious of scripts that are in that "script-fu" menu, means that they are ancient.

Very rarely fixes anything, all the settings are in your Gimp user profile C:\Users\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8\ which remains. Try renaming that to disable it. Run Gimp to make a new clean Gimp user profile, put the script in the new empty scripts folder. Restart Gimp. See if it makes any difference.

You see Script-fu in the menu bar if some script you load tells Gimp that its menu is in <Image>/Script-fu. Only very old scripts do that. In ancient versions of Gimp (2.2, 2.4 at best), there used to be a Script-fu menu for all the add-on scripts. In later Gimp versions scripts can be added in more appropriate menus and the catch-all menu is Filters.

If the Script-fu entry is not created, it may be because your script is so old that it has become incompatible with recent Gimp versions and fails during registration. If you tell us what it is or what it does we could point at possible replacements.
