Hi,

I have downloaded and put the .scm script by Martin Guldahl in the scripts folder, but I cannot find it in the Script-Fu menu or in the filters.
I run v 2.6.1

Where is it ?

Thank you
Alex

OK, I found it by coincidence under the Select menu.
It doesn't appear to be the appropriate location to me, anyhow... it works :(

You may change that do n require knowledge of script fu, just be able to trace a path that is usually close the end of the script

with a example is more clear

Note the part in bold and in red the point is there

Noticed once, you will spot easily again, even without the help of that large red Font....close the end of rghe script after "( script fu register" there is the registration path

now if i replace "/Filters/Decor/Text Backdrop " with "/Filters/Text Fx/Text Backdrop " i move the script there

same to move any other script whatever you wish
just open with the notepad,edit and save
