The script works for me only with python 2.6.No matter what version of Gimp

What does it say on python 2.7?

I am using Gimp-2.6.12 in Linux Fedora 16

Is there anyone using Windows that can make the script work?

Otherwise can one try to change line 28 to:

Can you start Gimp from a terminal session, and see if you get any messages in the terminal session when the script runs?

I can try but I never did that before so someone will have to tell me how to do it. I have only been using Fedora a couple of months so still learning.

The same error in xubuntu GIMP 2.6.12 and 2.8-RC1
Gimp 2.8 on Windows 7 with python 2.7 is the same problem.

Since you are on Linux, can you try same after starting Gimp from a terminal session? Messages in the terminal may be a bit more complete and may help pinpointing the problem.

Doesn't seem to work in this case, the PDB (or wire_read channel) isn't initialized yet at registration time.

I have a message.

Very strange. The second message come from the destructor of the Text object. So the text object has been created. But the workimage is created in its initializer, so it should be there. Unless the problem is indeed when creating this image. Can you try to change the line:

to

After changing everything is 2xOK!
It works in ubuntu and windows too.
Many thanks for all of your scripts.

This works for Gimp-2.7 versions.

OK, updated Sourceforge with version 0.1...

Thanks Ofnuts! Great script.

Yours is perfect pogogogo

I deleted the 0.0 plug-in after playing with it for days and I am now trying the 0.1 from source forge.
So far, this is as far as I got with it. In the paths dialog, every letter is on a different layer and some of them are faded and unreadable. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Would someone who is having good luck, like pogogogo...anyone do a screen shot of the text-along-path screen so I can see what settings you used.
Also, how do I stroke the path with a color if they are all on different layers?
Thanks in advance.

You must have used "Yes" to "Keep character paths" (as well as to "Keep upright"). This isn't necessary, a complete path for the whole string is always produced (it should be at the bottom of your paths list...). Actually, since you haven't clicked on the eye icons on the paths in the paths list, what you see there is the "master" path.

The "faint" characters may be due to overlapping paths with previous attempts

There is an option to leave individual character paths in because it can be useful at times (want to use different colors, or fix selections where characters overlap).

Start with the defaults (besides text/font, which are mandatory))...

Ofnuts - Golden Spiral, path-mirror and path-spread all show up in my plugin browser, this is the only one that doesn't. Is there anything at all that you did with those that you forgot with this one? Could it have anything to do with my insistence on sticking to 2.6.11?

It is displays fine in both my python-fu and script-fu browsers. If it doesn't show up on your setup it is likely because it didn't register properly due to som execution/syntax error, but then this normally produces messages visible if you start gimp with gimp-console. Did you at least upgrade to version 0.1?

You can check that the file didn't get damaged by starting a command prompt, navigating to your plugin directory, and run (assuming your python interpreter has a "python" executable of course):

This should answer something like:

This error is normal, "gimpfu" in only defined when running as a Gimp plugin, but the Gimpfu module is loaded only after the file has been parsed and found to not contain any syntax errors. So if it shows up the file is clean.
