I disagree. 2.4 should definitely ship with Tiny-fu, as it makes debugging and i18n easier than Script-Fu and it deals with several features of Scheme in a better way. You mentioned last week that you wouldn't be against switching to Tiny-Fu in 2.4 if the remaining problems (mainly the namespace issues) could be solved in time. It looks like Kevin had been previously discouraged from fixing these problems because there were communication problems between you and him. But now he has taken the time to work on these changes: you will notice that Tiny-Fu can now read *.scm scripts instead of *.sct. I suppose that it will not take long until Tiny-Fu can process most Script-Fu scripts unmodified (e.g., handling script-fu-register and so on). Since a few days ago, Tiny-Fu is now a replacement for Script-Fu instead of being simply something that can be installed on the side: it uses the same namespace now. I have already started building my GIMP with --disable-script-fu and I see that Tiny-Fu works well (as it did before, but then it was using its own namespace). There are still some minor issues with old third-party scripts because the transition from the tiny-fu to the script-fu namespace is not finished yet, but it already works well. And I trust Kevin for finishing the renaming soon. Please do not block Tiny-Fu again. It is more mature and more stable than several other pieces of code that have been introduced in CVS in the last weeks. If it can run most of the old scripts unmodified, there is really no reason to delay this long overdue replacement of Script-Fu. The Windows installer has shown the right way, let's follow it for all platforms. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
