Problem script-fu gimp-text-layer-get-text

Gimp 2.6.8 on Linux openSUSE 11.3

I need to extract text and font from a text layer. No problem, I thought, with gimp-text-layer-get-text and gimp-text-layer-get-font.

But I find that the original text layer was cropped with plug-in-autocrop-layer. Nevertheless Gimp lets me edit the text with the text edit tool - after a confirmation dialog.

But I can't get the text with script-fu. Is there a way to manage it? There are many files involved.

The layer name is "usually" the text contents, so instead of getting the text you can retrieve the name. Your Mileage May Vary.

It does vary, I'm sorry for it. Thank you all the same.

Problem script-fu gimp-text-layer-get-text

You can access it using sed/grep or some such tool. Opening the xcf file in a text editor, even after an autocrop, the text information remains in the following format:

(text "test text") (font "Sans")
(font-size 18.000000)
(font-size-unit pixels)
(hinting yes)
(antialias yes)
(language "en-us")
(base-direction ltr)
(color (color-rgb 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000)) (justify left)
(box-mode dynamic)
(box-unit pixels)

I posted a grep example here: http://registry.gimp.org/node/25145#comment-11229

Thank you very much indeed. That's the solution. I'll make me a script to meet my needs.
