It can only remember one copy of something (based on its name). If two script files each define something called 'my-function', the last script file containing a define for 'my-function' will be the one Script-Fu remembers. Any code that calls 'my-function' will be executing the version from the last script to define it. >> All scripts are read in to a single namespace.

It doesn't *have* to do this but it was made to work that way a long time ago and that hasn't been changed (yet). I have started work on a side project which will change this behaviour. -- Cheers!

Of course GIMP needs to look in the ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts directory. GIMP ships with a number of scripts. There needs to be a separate directory were users can put their own scripts or ones written by others. All scripts are read in to a single namespace. If two scripts have conflicting definitions for items defined outside of a function (ie. global to the file), there will be problems running the functions from one of those files. I found a cross-processing.scm script listed in the GIMP plug-in registry. It was written for GIMP 2.0 and needs some minor updates before it can be used properly with a 2.4 version of GIMP. Now you have a slightly better idea of how things work in regards to Script-Fu scripts. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

After removing > Cross-processing, the GIMP-filter worked again. If you are adding a third party script and it is conflicting with scripts shipped with GIMP, you need to fix the third party script. If you can't do that, ask the author of the script to fix it, or ask on the mailing list for help. You will need to post the script somewhere if you want someone on the mailing list to help you fix the script. -- Cheers! Kevin. http://www.ve3syb.ca/ |"What are we going to do today, Borg?"

[Gimp-user] The script Cross-processing.scm
After installing the Cross-processing script, which I found somewhere, one of the GIMP standard filters stopped working. After removing Cross-processing, the GIMP-filter worked again. The GIMP filter that stopped working was "Filter - Decor - Add border...". There was a error message talking about some corrupted undo blaha etc. Bug? Shouldn't be possible, should it?
