That's what i did the last weeks. Reading various tutorials and other stuff. I know there are hundreds of them. Older (1994)and newer ones (2004). Good and bad. "GIMP basic scheme", "Teach Yourself scheme in fixnum days", "SIOD, Scheme in One Defun", "A Scheme Tutorial for Gimp Users by Dov Grobgeld" and others which are really good. As well as GIMP PDB Doc descriptions, viewcvs at gnome, developers sites, libgimp - descriptions such as LIBGIMP library reference manual, a lot of scripts already have been written for GIMP and so on... And i'm using the Script-fu console as well as the batch mode. What i'm looking for are descriptions of the valid statements, functions and so on which may be used with scheme for GIMP and of the error codes and messages (e.g. "wta to cdr see errobj). i think it want's to tell me that there has been a type mismatch. it's not really verbose. i've done a car errobj and cdr but that doesn't seem to be the right way to get more information about an error... A second example: trying to load a file which doesn't exist. How can i prevent the error handler to send a message to GIMP_MESSAGE_BOX, GIMP_CONSOLE or GIMP_ERROR_CONSOLE rather than to send it to my function. kind of "(if (file-exists? myfile) (delete-file myfile))". I haven't found that. I really haven't found that much about valid statements, error handling/exception handling for scheme/GIMP at all. Michael ------------------------ Yahoo!
