Simulate old bw photo printing effect

The engrave filter does not quite yield what I aim for but it is a cool option anyway.
I tried your recent ofn-engraving script. However, I got error messages for both options (varying dashes/thickness).
Varying dashes says "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strokes'".
Varying thickness - the option that is most interesting for me - says "Calling error for procedure 'gimp-drawable-edit-stroke-item':
Procedure 'gimp-drawable-edit-stroke-item' has been called with value '-1' for argument 'item' (#2, type GimpItemID). This value is out of range." and "Procedure 'gimp-drawable-edit-stroke-item' has been called with value '-1' for argument 'item' (#2, type GimpItemID). This value is out of range." (standard values applied to a png-picture).
Do you have an idea what this might mean or how to fix this?
Thanks again,
Carla

ofn-engraving requires a path, that typically consists in regularly spaced lines (straight of wavy) or concentric circles. This path is stroked with lines of varying width to achieve the effect.

You can usually generate such path using other scripts in my collection. ofn-path-inbetweener will for instance generate regularly spaced lines by interpolating lines between two paths.

My scripts that come as a ZIP usually contain an HTML file that explains how to use the script and provide examples, this is true for both ofn-engraving and ofn-path -inbetweener.
