None that I'm aware of -- docs.gimp.org lists a "Script-Fu Migration Guide" but that is relative to GIMP 2.4 (when GIMP switched script-fu engines) and not up to date with current versions.

In the case of gimp-selection-load specifically, the one parameter is a channel handle and I assume it operates on the 'current' image (which is probably the reason for its deprecation). The three parameters to gimp-image-select-item are:

1 - target image handle 2 - Type of operation to perform on the target image (add/subtract/etc.) 3 - Source item to operate from (layer, channel, etc.)

All these parameters make sense. Your image handle is provided automatically when executing your script, CHANNEL_OP_REPLACE or CHANNEL_OP_ADD is probably what you want to fill in for parameter 2, and parameter 3 can take the channel handle just like the older function.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Script-Fu deprecation warnings - how to handle these?

Hi,

from time to time I get deprecation warnings in older script-fu scripts. Like
gimp-selection-load should be replaced by gimp-image-select-item

but gimp-image-select-item always takes 3 parameters while gimp-selection-load had been called with a single parameter.

Is there an upgrade guide for script-fu scripts?

Many thanks for a pointer, Helmut

Hi,

Have a look at the builtin procedure browser, to be found in the help menu. You should find both the deprecated and the replacing procedures there. If you have a little programming background, you can adapt the scripts yourself. I did this recently for a few scripts that didn't work correctly in v2.9.1 ("Straighten & Crop" and "Shadow & Highlight").

In 2.9.1 (Partha's version) I found that the python translations are not always working correctly. I haven't figured out what/why on that.

I am not aware of any formal documentation for dealing with changes in the procedures available to Script-Fu in GIMP between one version of the program and another.

I have a Perl script that can be used to update calls to GIMP procedures in Script-Fu scripts but I haven't updated it in a while. It can handle a lot of the changes but there was one major set of changes in GIMP procedures (between 2.4 and 2.6, IIRC) that were rather extensive and beyond what my script was designed to handle.

I will have to dig out the script and get it updated again some day. I've been working on a number of other projects so I haven't been doing anything related to the GIMP project in some time.

Cheers!

Kevin.
