Well.. since we never put a single thought in hardening script-fu scripts against being "explotable for abuse" - then it is all for the better that the possibilities are explicit, and available for users. It is clear that running a complete-featured language program wihtout a carelfully constructed sandbox environment pretty much gives the script access to all resources the user runningt he script has. It is hard to make it otherwise in specific environments to avoid that - so I think this is a non-issue. Note that I still advice anyone trying more sophisticated scripts to do so in Python, but I see no point in artificially restricting tiny-fu. js -><- > -- > --Alexia > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-developer mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer > _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
