GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 507119
Filter Round Corners will only work once
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:07:24 UTC
In Gimp 2.4.3 on a Mac and Gimp 2.4.2 on Windows you can only apply the Filter Decors -> round corners once. When you want to another picture (without quiting gimp) the filter is grayed out and cannot be started for a second time. If you do Extras | Script-Fu | Refresh the Filter will work again. Maybe this thread might also help you: http://www.wilber-loves-apple.org/topic.php?id=127&replies=9
I can reproduce this problem.
I can't reproduce the problem in GIMP 2.4.3 or SVN. I loaded several RGB images then ran the rounded script against each image one after the other by picking the script from the Image menu. The menu item was never grayed out.
I can reproduce it with GIMP from trunk. Open a new default RGB image without alpha channel. Then run the "Filters->Decor->Round Corners" script with the default options. This will create a new image. Then try to run the "Round Corners" script again from the original image. The menu entry is insensitive. On a new image, it will work, but not when I try to run it again on the original image.
Since my original comment, I have noticed a problem with grayed out menu items. The problem has nothing to do with the running of scripts. It has something to do with the images that are loaded. Start 2.4.3 or SVN GIMP and load the standard lena.png image. Look at the <Image>Filters->Decor menu and see that Round Corners, Slide, Stencil Carve, and Stencil Chrome are all grayed out. Select Script-Fu->Refresh Scripts and all four items are no longer grayed out. If I start SVN GIMP and load an JPG image from a digital camera the Stencil Carve and Stencil Chrome scripts are grayed out but Round Corners, and Slide are not. Once again, I select Script-Fu->Refresh Scripts and all four items are no longer grayed out. I never ran the scripts before noticing the grayed out menu items. Once I refreshed the scripts I could run (for example) Round Corners on the same image multiple times without the menu item graying out.
Not very surprising since the 'Stencil Carve' and 'Stencil Chrome' scripts only work on grayscale layers without an alpha channel. If these scripts are not grayed out in the menu of an RGB image after running 'Refresh Scripts' then that is a bug.
This was fixed with the changes done for bug #517683. Actually these two bugs are about the same issue. Closing this one as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 517683 ***
