Hi Everybody Finally the wait(long one) is over for a new stable version of gimp and I THANK YOU ALL for making GIMP -- what GIMP is today. Before I go any further let me tell you I am a gimp "user" and use gimp NON INTERACTIVELY hence to this mailing list I was using gimp 1.1.04 and perl before and for last few days I have been trying to upgrade my old gimp-perl programs to make it 1.2.0 compatible, and have been fairly successful but for a few minor questions. for the information my old programs "used Gimp and Gimp::Fu" The same programs do not run on newer 1.2.0. I had to change it to use Gimp qw(:auto __ N_); use Gimp::Fu; --to atleast get the script running (This is not mentioned in most of the tutorial on gimp site.) and then I keep getting the following warnings Subroutine gimp_text_get_extents_fontname redefined at /opt/other/src/perl-5.6.0/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/Gimp.pm line 539. Subroutine gimp_bucket_fill redefined at /opt/other/src/perl-5.6.0/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/Gimp.pm line 539. Sorry but I am lost. The same warnings are for almost all the function which I have used in my script. WHAT DO I DO ? The plug in "plug_in_autocrop" gives the following error if I use plug_in_autocrop(1,$img,$layer); (as mentioned in DB browers) rot: argument type Gimp::Drawable, Gimp::Layer or Gimp::Channel expected (not Gimp::Image) at ./rot line 32 (DIE) but works fine if I use plug_in_autocrop(1,$layer); WHY? Sorry for all the cribbing Thanks in advance Gimper Chetan
