OK, I decided to try and delve into this script-fu stuff a bit, and was pleased to find that Dov Grobgeld had taken the time to put together some examples. I downloaded the example1 script, but when I run it here is what happens. First run (using default parameters), I get a square that is "mostly" black. It should be the orange color that goes with the default for the script, but instead it is black with random specks of colored pixels within it. If I run it a second time, again just keeping the default parameters and hitting OK, I get an error ... "ERROR: Prodedural database execution failed: (gimp_edit_fill 2 4)" Continuing to try to run it with the defaults yields the same error message, except that the first gimp_edit_fill parameter increments by 1 each time and the second increments by 2 each time. On each run, the background color is being set. The fill command is just not executing properly. I looked in the procedure browser, and it says that the gimp_edit_fill command should be taking a fill mode number for the second parameter ... I don't understand why the example is passing it the value of "layer"? So I changed the script to have a fill mode parameter of 1, a background color fill. Now when I run it, The first time result is the same as the original script. The second time crashes, giving the same error. The third time, I got a black square, with a few random colored pixels and large, rectangular patches of mottled gray?????? Can somebody please straighten me out on this? It's been a looonnnngg time since I've done any programming, and Scheme does not seem very intuitive to me. But I should be able to get the first example to work, shouldn't I??? Thanks .....
