One function I did not include (which has recently been mentioned on this list -- or was it on IRC?) is getenv.

The "system" function was deliberately left out of the portion of tsx I included with Script-Fu. Few people would need it and it is just too dangerous to have available in all GIMP installs. It would allow creation of trojan scripts that could do damage to a computer. On the other hand, the Perl, Python, and Ruby language bindings can issue system commands so malware scripts are already possible but not every GIMP install can use those other language bindings "out of the box". We need to think a little about this before going ahead and enabling a function that would allow system calls to be used in scripts that could be run on any machine with GIMP. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
