GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 351283
review and localize Script-Fu blurbs
Last modified: 2006-10-05 18:07:46 UTC
As explained on the mailing-lists, the short descriptions registered by Script-Fu scripts should be reviewed and localized before we can enter the string freeze for 2.4.
Please use Milestone + Priority==Urgent instead of Severity==Blocker.
Please consider doing the string review for Tiny-Fu instead of Script-Fu.
Created attachment 74057 [details] [review] Patch for blurb changes I have employed the phrase "selected region (or alpha)" in describing the scripts that, if no selection exists, will operate on the region where the alpha channel is not zero (black). I feel that this behavior is an important distinction and that the user should be made aware of the existence of this feature in the blurb. I have chosen to use the word "alpha" because it is consistent with its usage in the "Alpha to Selection" operation. There is a contingent of GIMP users (mostly youths) who term such objects with transparent backgrounds "renders". Personally, I think using the term "render" would be confusing, given its well-established meaning in the 3-D modelling field but I do think that the concept of an object defined by the contents of the alpha channel is an important one, regardless of what it is called.
Created attachment 74061 [details] [review] Updated patch This patch fixes a couple of oversights in the previous one. I am not sure about what is to be done with the 'script-fu-select-to-xxxx.scm' files because I do not fully understand current menu registration guidelines and where these functions are to appear in menus (and they might be deprecated because of the recent addition of "Edit->Paste To xxxx" functionality).
The script-fu-select-to-foo scripts are deprecated and do not any longer register a menu entry. I have backed out this part of the patch, as well as the change to test-sphere.scm. Thanks for your help, the change is now in CVS.
