The procedure returns a list containing a count and an array of path IDs. I would recommend converting this to a list using the R5RS function 'vector->list'. Mind that the "vector" in 'vector->list' is what Scheme chooses to call an array; it is completely unrelated to the GIMP concept of vectors/paths. To avoid confusion, I use the older "path" terminology for my user-defined functions and variables. (let ((paths (vector->list (cadr (gimp-vectors-import-from-file image filename FALSE scale-to-imagesize ))))) ; we now have a list of 'paths' that have been imported. ; To select from the first path in the list, use the 'car' function (gimp-vectors-to-selection (car paths) 2 TRUE FALSE 0 0) ) If more than one path has been imported, you could loop through the list of path IDs, adding each selection. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
