Since last week, Tiny-Fu is able to run many of the old Script-Fu scripts unmodified: it reads files with the *.scm extension and uses the "script-fu-*" namespace so that it can process the calls to script-fu-register. I tested Tiny-Fu with several third-party scripts or scripts that are not in the gimp module (e.g., scripts from gimp-gap). I tried a few dozen scripts written for GIMP 2.0 and 2.2, and most of them ran without problems: there were no difference when the scripts were executed with the old Script-Fu interpreter (siod) or with the new Tiny-Fu interpreter (tinyscheme). I only got problems in a couple of scripts that were not declaring variables correctly or were incorrectly mixing the scope of some variables (global/local). For example, this occured in the "smart remove object" script that came with with the resynthesizer plug-in. But most of the scripts worked fine with Tiny-Fu. In fact, some of them even worked better: for example, Script-Fu's text circle had problems processing text containing foreign characters, while Tiny-Fu processes these characters without problems. Besides these improvements, the main visible difference is that Tiny-Fu registers some menu entries using the name "Tiny-Fu" instead of "Script-Fu". For example: Xtns -> Tiny-Fu -> Tiny-Fu Console. However, even that could be changed easily if most developers or documenters prefer to keep the old name for historical reasons. >From my point of view, Tiny-Fu is now ready to replace Script-Fu and I would like to encourage everybody to make the switch so that we can fix any remaining bugs. Considering that Tiny-Fu solves some real problems (i18n), the sooner we can do the switch, the better. Unless anyone objects, I would like to commit a trivial patch tomorrow that disables Script-Fu by default in configure.in. It will still be possible to use the old interpreter by using --enable-script-fu explicitely, but otherwise Script-Fu should be considered as obsolete. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
