Re: Gimp 2.4: Crashing on Script-Fu Menu?

["Dave 77459" <dave77459@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had a theory that the blurb building was killing GIMP, so I modified the script to make the description a single line.  It now works.

The reasoning for a multi-line description was to give valuable information in the Procedure Browser.  Now the information is the single-line blurb, which is practically useless. :((

Why it worked in Ubuntu versus Windows is a mystery I leave to the developers.  However, it illustrates why I never released the script to the repository.  I cannot test scripts except on my machines and it worked up 'til Windows 
2.4.  Without broad testing, running a script is a crapshoot.  The thought that my script would mysteriously hose someone's GIMP is a huge barrier to wide release.

Hi,

I'll email you the script separately since I do not know if the list takes attachments.  But, I would guess that it is not the script because it works well in v2.4 (candidate) in Ubuntu.

It does not appear to be the script, because it doesn't execute.  All I do is open the menu and mouse down so as to want to run a script.  I realize GIMP is displaying a blurb in the window footer about the script; perhaps there is something crashing the blurb.

Thanks for the help,

Dave

It would be very useful if you could make this script available so that
we can isolate the problem and fix it.
