The original call to 'plug-in-autocrop' does not alter the value for  
'drawable'. Whatever layer was passed to the plug-in still exists  
(though it gets cropped).

However, the reflection script destroys the original layer passed to  
it -- merging it with the other layers to produce a new layer. This  
means the 'drawable' argument you passed to the script will no longer  
be valid after the script has returned, and you need to set the value  
of 'drawable' to a valid layer. Hopefully, the script leaves the  
appropriate layer active when it returns so that you can use  
'gimp-image-get-active-layer' to set 'drawable' properly.

I realized that this wasn't particularly descriptive.  My failing
script looks like this:

(define (script-reflect filename)
(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image
(script-fu-gimp-reflection RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable 30 100 FALSE TRUE)
(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
(gimp-image-delete image)))

Thank you for any help,

Mark

[Gimp-user] Newbie needs help making batch reflect script

2010-07-05 Thread Mark McLaren
Hi all,

I am a Script-Fu and Scheme newbie; please forgive my ignorance.  I am 
trying add reflection to a batch of PNG files using the GIMP reflection 
plugin from:

http://registry.gimp.org/node/1025

I have previously been able to batch re-size my PNG files using a 
script-autocrop script that I found on the GimpTalk forum.

http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/script-autocrop-p265988.html

To create a batch reflection script I have tried taking a copy of 
script-autocrop, changed the definition name to match the new filename 
and changed the "plug-in-autocrop" line so that it call the reflection 
plugin instead, like this:

(script-fu-gimp-reflection RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable 30 100 
FALSE TRUE)

If I run it, I get the following error:

GIMP-Error: Calling error for procedure 'gimp-file-save':
Procedure 'gimp-file-save' has been called with an invalid ID for 
argument 'draw
able'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on a layer that doesn't 
exist any
  longer.

batch command experienced an execution error

What am I doing wrong?  Any assistance is appreciated.

Many thanks,

Mark
