Sorry, I didn't take actions because I never used python, now
I notice, from your example, in python you can pass and argument naming
it, very nice ...

You were very clear, and my assumption of seeing script-fu as core
instead a plugin lead me to wrong conclusions about what
PDB-browser should do. Thank's a lot david, you were very helpful.

No, Script-Fu will not be deprecated soon. Though it's less powerful
than Gimp-Python, it is more secure than Gimp-Python, and people have
lots of Script-Fu scripts.

No, extension is an actual idea GIMP recognises, you can find it in
the plugin browser.
'Type' says 'extension' or 'plugin' or 'temp procedure'

Script-fu is supported in the gimp core in the same way that
Gimp-Python is: Not at all.

They are both plugins. Script-fu is classified as an extension,
Gimp-Python is classified as a plugin.
Either can be removed from GIMP by deleting some files; I once removed
script-fu because it filled my menus with items I did not have any use
for. GIMP continued to work perfectly.

Speculating, and taking no action, only makes you look foolish.

This has been working for a long time. The PDB is a standard mechanism
that doesn't care at all about Script-fu or any other plugin. I have
tried it myself.

For example (commands that can be executed in Gimp-Python console):

# this calls script_fu_sphere non-interactively
pdb.script_fu_sphere (10, 180, 1, (1,1,1), (1,0,0))

# this calls script_fu_sphere interactively, a window will pop-up.
pdb.script_fu_sphere (10, 180, 1, (1,1,1), (1,0,0), run_mode = 0)



> for the console (it launches from there)
No, it is not a helper for the script-fu console. It's a helper for
plugin programming, which means *any* plugin, whether written in C,
C++, Python, Script-Fu, Ruby, Perl, or Lua.

That is because of the inflexible behaviour of script-fu, and the fact
that GIMP doesn't care about what it's plugins do, script-fu is not
special, it's just an extension to GIMP, not a vital part of it.

The inability for script-fus to call other script-fus with control
over run-mode is purely a design decision that the author of the
Script-Fu extension made.

Gimp-python is packed as an optional package in mi distro (mandriva) besides
you need python installed, script-fu is supported in the gimp core, that
sounds like python being the extension, don't you think ?

I think that is not strictly the case, because run_mode is not available 
inside the script, and in the pdb-browser is shown as the first argument
so it will be no valid for python either, if the order of your example 
parameters is correct. Also the pdb-browser its a helper 
for the console (it launches from there), but entering commands in the
console prompt like it shows, in many cases (when calling other scripts)
you get errors.

Script-fu has no special status, it's just an extension to gimp
In fact, Gimp-Python has been the standard recommended language interface
for quite a while now.

Python scripts or C plugins can call your script NONINTERACTIVE or INTERACTIVE
It's simply that script-fu automatically fills in the run_mode, and
provides no way for you to change it.

in Python, you can call interactively like this

pdb.script_fu_something (image, drawable, (more parameters...), run_mode = 0)

for example.

So, there will be no case of somebody passing the 
RUN-(NON)INTERACTIVE parameter to my script, will be ?
If that is the case, why the pdb browser is showing as the
first parameter to my scrypt the run-mode, isn't it confusing ?
Shouldn't the pdb browser hide that for scripts-fu ?

About the enums, any ideas ? I want to upload 3 plugins
I made but it is not nice to pass options as numeric mode
selector, sorry to annoy with this ...

A Script-fu called by another Script-fu can not be run interactively,  
therefore a 'run-mode' of RUN-NONINTERACTIVE is assumed.  
Unfortunately, this means that when writing your script, you must know  
whether the PDB function is providing a "plug-in" or a "script-fu".

I just checked and you are correct that when calling your own scripts
you must leave out that parameter for it to work even though the pdb
browser shows it.

But I try to call my own script with the RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
argument and it complains about the argument list, if i remove it,
it works just fine, then when i use my script with the parameters
i declared in the define everything goes perfect but adding
the parameter run-mode as it gets listed in the browser help
then it fails.

If you specify RUN-NONINTERACTIVE it will run without the dialog box appearing.
