Pauline,

Like PC said, it's a script and so no issues with adding it to your script directory. There is a bug in it and that will prevent you from running it. Use this version that's attached.

It will show up as Filters -> Check Duplicate Scripts ...

Let me know if it does not work for you.

Thanks,
Partha

Looking good akky, looks to me that you only have one dupe, You just need to delete one of them.

It's been brought to my attention that a newer version of duplicate checker exits. I will look into it.

In other news Gimp 2.8.2 has been released and lotsa goodies for Mac!

I will have a release "soon".

The strange thing is...Mc Gimp used to be the right size and I could also drag it larger and smaller, longer or shorter, but now I can't. I can only click the upper left green button. That does make it just barely fit, but once in a while i want it smaller than that.

The preferences are saved locally in your Gimp-2.8 folder. I was wondering if you changed something that prevents you from writing or saving to it?

Try this. open the terminal app. When it starts, type

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/system.log

. Now start McGimp by clicking on the App. Tell me what you see in the terminal app when you Gimp starts?

Thanks,
Partha

I will try this on my day off...saturday or sunday....and let you know. BTW, I have never used terminal before, but I will steel myself and do it, lol

where is the newer version ? i believed to have the latest but the script doesn't show up

No ,not only 1

there are more but was not sufficiently space to show all the error messages so the other where "redirected to sterr" that in this case is as to say "redirected to nowhere" or more clearly "the other messages went lost "
i suppose or the script should be modified to write the messages directly on a txt file or must be run after starting gimp in verbose mode to avoid to loose most of its outputs and so its utility

I've accidentally just seen these comments about the check-for-duplicates script (I don't have a Mac so I don't read threads about Macs

) and feel I should point out that the thread for support questions is here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3057 and the post where version 1.8 was attached is here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3057&start=70#p54098

I'll see if I can get version 1.8 uploaded to GIMP Scripts to replace version 1.5.

That will be great!

Since the latest on Gimpscripts.com was 1.5 I was working on it. I will take this version and see if it needs any massaging for the Mac. Molly pointed out that 1.5 was crashing on Fedora.

2-ton,

Other than a couple of bad scripts, I don't see any issues here. I am a little worried about the gimp wire issues, but that should not prevent you from writing to your personal Gimp-2.8 folder (~/Library/Application Support/Gimp-2.8).

What do you get (in a console again) when you type:

Code: Select all

ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/Gimp-2.8

?

(because of the space between Application and Support, you have to use the back slash)

Well, I hope that 2.8.2 will solve your issues since I am unable to replicate it.

Partha

which are the bad scripts...If they are bad, I'll just delete them. And what is wire? Also when the next mcGimp is ready, will I first be dumping my current mcgimp not only from applications but also my gimp 2.8 from my user name folder?

partha · **Joined:** Mar 14, 2011 **Posts:** 998

I will reply to both your posts.

Your folder permissions are all good and so I am not sure why your preferences are not being saved.

I plan to provide Gimp 2.8.2 for Mac soon. Can't promise much since I have to test, and then release and have you all test before releasing to the public. And then there is Labor day.

As for the bad scripts, from you system log, "Pattern from Image.scm" and plasti-wrap are not being loaded.

2-ton · **Posted:** Fri Aug 24, 2012 10:30 pm **(#278)**

I will be happy to try out the 2.8.2 whenever you have time to provide it. Thanks for the bad script names. I may as well get rid of them for now.

I wouldnt touch terminal with a barge pole!!

2-ton · **Posted:** Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:41 pm **(#280)**

haha, ordinarily, either would I. But I trust Partha and am willing to do it when he give exact instructions. Now to wait for the new mcgimp. I will try to have it pristine by moving all other gimp folders out of "my name" application support folder. Then I can add only what I need, one at a time, so if it gets messed up I will have a good idea what has done it.
