PDB Interface to Script-Fu/GIMPressionist?

hey all-

(under Gimp 1.2)

Can anyone tell me how to call gimp plugs from a batch/scripting language when their PDB definitions list STRING for all of their values, even when the variables are obviously FLOATS for script-fu plug-ins such as script_fu_weave?

I've tried feeding the plug-ins the float values directly, or converting them to strings first, but not matter what I do the image/drawable saves identical to the original or the script simply fails.

I could provide a full list of script-fu plug-ins that I'm seening this problem with if it would help.

Further, is it possible to access plug-ins such as GIMPressionist when they have no variables listed at all by the PDB Explorer?

I haven't checked the Gimp 2.0 pre-release to see if this is fixed, if so I'm happy to just start using that for my batch processing.

Cheers in advance to any help anyone can provide...

This looks like a bug in 1.2 then. As far as I can see the script registers float values and that's what the DB Browser in gimp-1.3 is showing.

This means that the plug-in doesn't provide a PDB interface to be used non-interactively. Of course it would be nice if it did and we'd be happy about a patch that implements this.

I haven't checked the Gimp 2.0 pre-release to see if this is fixed, if so I'm happy to just start using that for my batch processing.

We'd appreciate if you tried the 2.0 pre-releases for your batch processing. Sooner or later you will have to switch anyway. If you give it some testing right now, we can try to fix possible problems even before 2.0 is out.
