Description strata_ranger 2008-05-20 01:12:59 UTC 
Back in GIMP 2.2 I wrote a small script to take a "dissolve" mode layer and convert it to Normal blending mode (e.g: add a transparent layer beneath it and merge down).  Now that I've installed 2.4 I am receiving a script-fu error message when trying to use it, and since I have not worked on my script in some time I don't know where to start looking for that error.

But my real question is this:  If/when GIMP encounters a script error, can it please include the line number (from the script file) where the exact error occured?

(If I have missed or overlooked anything obvious please let me know.)

PS:  The error in my script turned out to be simple (forgot to use car() on the result of a function call).

Still, if this had been a long and complicated script, it might have taken serious time to comb over the code and locate the error.

If you are having trouble with debugging a scripts, you should ask for help on IRC or the mailing lists. There is already an open bug report about line numbers for errors in Script-Fu.
