The best thing about Script-Fu has been knowing it would be available and included in the 'default install'. Many existing scripts are written in Script-Fu and as you know we still regularly get users asking how to get and old script to work with the current version. >From a technical standpoint it is great that Python and Perl subsystems are well achitectured and entirely seperable but the failure of distributors to include them in the 'default install' or even bother to build them has dicouraged people from using them. Making it possible to leave things out is different from it being a good idea to leave things out and I do not think users are given the best impression of the GIMP because to the ordinary user if it is not installed it may as well not exists. My point is Script-Fu remains useful despite it's flaws and I am concerned by the potential side-effects of killing it off. Better go and improve my python skills... - Alan H. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
