Shape path does work if you have the latest - v.0.3  -ofn-bend-path script.

Another way to get a similar curve with minimal nodes is the smooth path plugin
http://registry.gimp.org/node/20069  old works ok in linux. Make a zig-zag and 'smooth' it

Not a matter of count of nodes. It just generates a very special case of paths that triggers a bug in ofn-bend-path which has now been fixed.

This said, my own path-waves generates just as accurate sines using fewer nodes (4 per period instead of 8). Choose wisely

thats a good example where the guides option comes in handy for some padding !

*shock*

its mandatory to use only ofnuts path tools here !!!!!!!  

the correct answer is: "dear ofnuts, of course i used ofn-path-waves"  

Why should they be mandatory when their superior craftsmanship is enough to subjugate you?

Dictatorships is one's acknowledgment of incompetency.

I have just been playing again with the latest version of ofn-bend-path. Still finding problems.

I tried with the old version of my sea sick test (the one I uploaded; paths with too many nodes).
I get a different error: Bad file descriptor.

Tried a second time with paths made by ofn-path-waves
Same result, also Bad file descriptor

Tried a third time, simple paths as per version 1
Works fine

The script itself doesn't read any file, so I assume that there is a problem with the .PY file you installed and the message comes from the python interpreter (or Gimp's Python interface)(did you restart Gimp?). What says the "More information" area, once expanded?

I have just done a complete re-install of Gimp (and Windows, and everything else)

Ohh... Ok. If you have a decent code editor change the line (#40) that says 'debug=True' to 'debug=False' (with an uppercase F).

Otherwise just redownload the package, I just updated it.

Thanks. Working great.
