Enable Debugging ("Tracing") in Tiny-Fu-based-Script-Fu?

Hi,

in the Tiny-Fu FAQ (http://www.ve3syb.ca/software/gimp/tiny-fu-faq.html), there's a remark about debugging scripts:

"[...] the debugging of scripts is much easier in Tiny-Fu. Tracing of script execution can be turned on and off at any point in a script. When tracing is turned on you will get very detailed information about the execution of the script."

Can this be enabled globally for all scripts - the scripts shipped with GIMP and third-party scripts, too? If so, it might be a good idea to turn this on in the development branch.

If not: there should be an example how tracing can be enabled, and doing so should be encouraged for script development.

Michael

Yes, it could be turned on for all scripts. When you see how much output that would generate I think you will quickly realize that it is a bad idea. Not to mention the time it takes to output all the tracing information slows down script execution.

Thanks for the reminder. I will add an entry to the FAQ about how to turn on tracing mode. Tracing mode can help during script development. I'm not sure about encouraging it. I'd rather people were encouraged to format scripts properly.
