Attached is a quick and dirty > patch for fixing that bug. This patch is unnecessary when using GLib 1.3 or later, as the whole point of g_strescape() (which is what the ESCAPE macro in the source calls) is to escape chars that are risky in a C (or script-fu) string, like double quotes or nonprinting characters. Unfortunately g_strescape as implemented in GLib 1.2 escapes only backslashes... (because or my shortsightedness, I confess), not double quotes (or nonprinting characters). However, the code in the GIMP that uses g_strescape() gets unnecessary complex if we start taking that into consideration. Wouldn't it be far simpler to release a newer version of GLib 1.2, with g_strescape() having the same calling convention as before (the prototype was changed in GLib 1.3 (partial sigh)), but with a wider range of characters handled, and then require this GLib version (1.2.7?) for the development GIMP? --tml
