GIMP 3 script-fu not loading and run with error when Loaded through Console - markhahn2000 - 12-04-2025
new to v3 and having scripting issues.
My test case is a published "hello World"script. (https://testing.developer.gimp.org/resource/writing-a-plug-in/tutorial-script-fu/)
On MacOS I have given GIMP full access in system settings. I have placed this .scm in a subdirectory with the same name as the executable .scm file. In Folders, this script directory is the first listed.
It does not show up when I restart GIMP.
I've read that I can load it in the Console, and when I do this, I get the error:
"Error: eval: unbound variable: (/Users/mark/GIMP_scriptfu/mh_hello_world3/mh_hello_world.scm : 35) [] "
On line 35 in the script, it holds the copyright year. How is this causing this script to error out?
I have tried different example scripts and am getting similar errors.
I am new to this. Thanks for any help!

Is your directory and addition to scripts or to plug-ins? Given the code it should be in plug-ins I think.
