I have tried to use a script that I used to use in Gimp 1.2.5 called 'Aqua Pill' (available from the gug.sunsite.dk website in the script gallery). All my other scripts seem to have made the leap to Gimp 2.0, as one would expect, apart from this one. The error message reads:

Error while executing (script-fu-aqua-pill-button "Click Me!" 50 "-*-tekton-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-p-*-*-*" '(0 0 0) '(255 0 0) 10 10 1 1 TRUE TRUE TRUE)
ERROR: unbound variable (errobj gimp-channel-ops-offset)

What does this mean?

Basically this means, that the script has to be ported to GIMP 2.0.

The offending command in this error message is gimp-channel-ops-offset, which has been renamed to gimp-drawable-offset in GIMP 2.0. Looking at that error also gives the hint, that there is something wrong with the font specification, since GIMP 2.0 no longer relies on the weird -*-... X11 Logical Font Descriptor but uses Fontconfig Font specifications like "Tekton 24".

So someone needs to invest some amount of work into this script.

Very timely. I got perl-gimp working on my machine yesterday, and tried stampify.pl almost immediately. It failed due to the

gimp_edit_fill($layer1);
problem mentioned yesterday. I changed that to

gimp_edit_fill($layer1, BACKGROUND_FILL);

and then it failed due to the

gimp_channel_ops_offset($layer1, 1, 0, -($diameter / 2), -($diameter / 2));

I changed this to

gimp_drawable_offset($layer1, 1, 0, -($diameter / 2 ), -($diameter / 2 ));

The script could still use a little tweaking, I think, since I can see some subtle problems I think I could fix, but it is now working.

Thanks!
