Trying to understand your #11 and #12..........I'n not versed in that script thing

As I see the Gimp directs automatically where it should download that script...?!?!

Tried in a Win7 (VM) with Gimp 2.8.22 and Gimp 2.10RC1 (partha)

In each case the script works and as well as default values, works with various values and different fonts, (incl wingdings as a test).

Going to be something peculiar to your installation. You could give more details, language settings, the font you use...etc but looks like difficult to diagnose at a distance.

Edit: the only instance of cadr in the script, is line 56 (text-height (cadr text-size)), so probably something before that relating to text.

Still can not generate an error even with some strange fonts, but it would be a starting point.

edit again: Can you try this one: http://www.gimphelp.org/photo_copyright_text.html
It is the same script but updated for Gimp 2.8 FU_photo_copyright.scm size 7,178 B

It all means that there is a possibility of two scripts with the same name, in different locations, and they confilict with each other resulting in an error message.

Ofnuts was asking you to look in Gimp Edit -> Preferences -Folders -> Scripts to check on the paths Gimp uses when looking for scripts.



It might be that you can find duplicate copies yourself.

This one, a 2.4 version in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts



and this one a gimp 2.6 version in the  Gimp profile C:\Users\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8\scripts



In an earlier post Kevin mentioned his duplicate script checker. Looks like this



Since the gimp-scripts site is no longer working, that scm is attached. In the same zip the updated for Gimp 2.8 copyright script referenced earlier. My advice get rid of any old copies, use that version
