If it is not version specific then it may be working for you (and not me) because of something other going on than just the code you posted here (multiple procedure registrations in the same file perhaps). Could you provide a complete listing of your script? 2000 lines overall, 1200 lines of code. Perhaps a bit excessive to paste into a posting here. So for moment it's in woodrat.zip at https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B6M_pjcD- RRwNTZjODc0NzQtYjliMy00ZDBlLTgzZWItNDAyNDExMTA2YzU3hl=enauthkey=CMGn 5i4 or http://bit.ly/btzFxD or http://www.freedrive.com/folder/282054 In version posted I invoke (wr_register_menu_branch) 3 times, with argument (the value to return each time). It also worked for me when I just invoked it once (on the first (script-fu-register)). Any comments or crits on code very welcome, e.g. if you happen to notice me doing anything wildly inefficient. To actually run the script you need the pattern file included in the zip.

[Gimp-user] script-fu: underscore?; script-fu-register; script-fu-menu-register
One of uses of an underscore is to pick out the shortcut character in a menu item: (script-fu-register wrdhb_create_half_blind_dovetail _Half blind dovetail... ;menu label Create Template for Half blind Dovetail ) There also appears to be (script-fu-register wrdhb_create_half_blind_dovetail _Half blind dovetail... ;menu label ... ) whch I gather has something to do with translation: I assume it would have no effect in this particular case because it's sadly unreasonable to expect translation dictionaries (po files??) to know blind or dovetail. That so? == script-fu-register wrdhb_create_half_blind_dovetail _Half blind dovetail... ;menu label ) Also, I've been using this style of getting a script registered for use in create menu: (script-fu-menu-register wrdhb_create_template_half_blind_dovetail Image/File/Create/Woodrat) (a) Can I combine the two, putting path in second parameter of script-fu-register? (b) Is there anyway of getting a letter of the submenu Woodrat to be a shortcut key? I've tried variations of underscore in the Image/File/Create/Woodrat parameter, doesn't work.

That so? If you want your scripts to be translated, then you need to put your scripts into a separate translation domain and ship the translations with them. You can of course not expect the strings from your scripts to be part of the standard script-fu translation domain.

Using a path in the script-fu-register call is deprecated. Please use script-fu-menu-register. (b) Is there anyway of getting a letter of the submenu Woodrat to be a shortcut key? I've tried variations of underscore in the Image/File/Create/Woodrat parameter, doesn't work. You need to explicitly create the submenu using gimp-plugin-menu-branch-register. This procedure should accept mnemonics marked with an underscore. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I've had enough mental exercise for this year learning script-fu. Not sure by brain could take relearning python. Also that would require that end users of script, generally assumed not to be highly computer literate, would have to install python as well as GIMP. Anyway, my kludge seems to work.
