scripts that require brushes that GIMP no longer installs

Created attachment 181552 [details] [review] scripts generate brushes instead of looking for brushes that don't exist and failing plug-ins/script-fu/scripts/carve-it.scm plug-ins/script-fu/scripts/carved-logo.scm plug-ins/script-fu/scripts/chrome-it.scm These scripts require brushes that were removed from the brushes that GIMP installs (96a6e5c2db2bed568c17bd149e92f1239a702763). Recommend either restoring the brushes or converting the scripts to generate brushes as needed (a patch should be included which accomplishes this).
Created attachment 181557 [details] [review] patch for spyrogimp.scm spyrogimp.scm breaks when run with its default settings which name a brush that is no longer installed. I do not know if the patch attached is an improvement or not -- instead of requesting a brush, it asks for a radius and a paint mode and makes a new brush, uses that and then deletes the brush. The choice of installed brushes is not so good for spyrogimp. The patched script also shows (at least here) how badly broken GIMP brushes are for regular old scripted painting. The default brush (which is a radius of .5px) is painting with a radius of twice that much or more. The script does everything correctly though.
"painting with a radius of twice that much or more" should be "painting with a radius of 10 times that or more". oops
Created attachment 181678 [details] [review] this patch solves the problem of scripts requiring brushes that are not available This patch makes vector brushes when brushes are actually needed by script-fu. t-o-p-logo (Particle Trace) was requiring brushes it never used (and has been needlessly requiring them since gimp-1.2).
Comment on attachment 181557 [details] [review] patch for spyrogimp.scm Pretty sure this needs some more adjustments in regard to gimp-context (e.g. for the size)

We should really have addressed this long ago, let's at least fix it in 2.10. Thanks for the patch Carol.
Seems to me that this needs some additional work, though - setting the brush radius is not going to affect the size used anymore, is it?
