GIMP: Small 2.6.8 Script-Fu Bug

Submitted by pbr on January 10, 2010 - 11:26am

At the risk of raising my dork quotient to prodigious heights — I'm not a programmer — I believe I've found a minor oopsy in the PA edition of 2.6.8, specifically the script-fu-compat.init file buried in the scripts folder. (That's the one that "provides some compatibility with scripts that were originally written for use with the older SIOD based Script-Fu plug-in of GIMP.") To cut to the chase, the version that ships with the portable version doesn't work (deprecated scripts produce syntax error messages and crash) while the desktop version does.

GIMP 2.6.8 doesn't work on Windows 2000?

Have downloaded few times the new gimp 268 today, the file looks OK so far.
It does install normal, but when trying to run it, nothing big happends.

Worse , it does interfere with the portable apps plattform somehow, this one appears after an attempt to run gimp 268 only as black square.

This all on w2k, have no XP at this moment here to check it.

I right click on a brush and try to make an eliptical... but the following error comes up
Error while executing script-fu-make-brush-elliptical:

Error: Procedure execution of file-gbr-save failed:
Could not open 'F:\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\Data\settings/brushes/e20x20.gbr' for writing: No such file or directory

Can someone fix that? It's no fun not to have a feature because gimp is looking in the wrong place and also, forward slashes wont help Blum
