Apperently my original response got malformed in the ether, so I am trying again. Copy paste of my original response below: Joao, Are you refering to known bug, or something new. The exact code I am sending is this: Where Progress.ME is a reference to a specific class instance (I was trying to avoid sending a self reference in case that was the issue. The original code replaced all Progress.ME references with a reference to self. (The class Progress contains a static member ME which is simply equal to self. This was done to create the callback in such a way that it could be used without a 'self' reference required as a paramerter. I've tested it both ways and gotten the same results.) pth = "<Image>/Filters/Temp/" + Progress.ME._pdb_name gimp.install_temp_proc( "my_test_name_sghdf", "Temporary External Progress Bar Handler.", "Temporary External Progress Bar Handler.", "other_test_class_instance-jdsfg", # Author "other_test_class_instance-jdsfg", # Copy "Somewhen in the far future.", # Date pth, # Path "*", # image types gimpfu.TEMPORARY, #3, provided by gimpfu #1, provided by gimpfu [ (gimpfu.PF_INT32, "num", "Value received"), (gimpfu.PF_STRING, "word", "Value In."), (gimpfu.PF_FLOAT, "f_num", "Value In.") ], [ (gimpfu.PF_BOOL, "ret_val", "True/False") ], Progress.ME.callback ) gimp.pdb.gimp_progress_install(Progress.ME._pdb_name) and the response I am getting back is : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 850, in _run res = apply(func, params[1:]) File "/home/<snip>/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/sample.py", line 336, in do_plug this = Plug() File "/home/<snip>/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/sample.py", line 305, in __init__ self._gui = GUI() File "/home/<snip>/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/sample.py", line 174, in __init__ self._progress = Progress() File "/home/<snip>/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/sample.py", line 101, in __init__ Progress.ME.callback(register=True) File "/home/<snip>/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/sample.py", line 79, in callback Progress.ME.callback TypeError: install_temp_proc() takes exactly 11 arguments (12 given) assuming that helps, or hoping rather.
