Ahhhhhhhh! I see the problem. (I think) Does this sound familiar? You are writing your own script based on the Gimp's glowing_steel script. You made the changes you wanted and asked the Gimp to show your new script (BrushedMaterial) in the <Image>/Filters/Render/ menu. But it's not showing up.
Assuming that's the case, I think I have the answer. There are two things you'll need to do: First, you are currently trying to register your new script with the same name as an existing script. When gimp sees two scripts with the same name, it tosses out the second one, throwing up a "Gimp-WARNING **: removing duplicate PDB procedure <whatever>." So, in your script, change: register "brushed_metal" to: register "BrushedMaterial" Second, Gimp keeps a cache of every plug-in that it has seen. When it gets two scripts with the same name, it might cache erroneous information. The best way to solve this is to force Gimp to re-generate the cache file. To do this, just delete the cache: rm ~/.gimp-1.2/pluginrc The next time you load the Gimp, it'll rebuild its cache file (so it'll be a bit slower to start up), and your new script should appear in the menu. --Joel > As I have already posted in yesterdays' mailboard, there is some problem > with registering scripts in the script- fu database. 1.)
