2.99 Plugins: ScriptFu: plan to obsolete script-fu-select-to-<foo>.scm scripts
This is for public comment about a planned change.
The files scripts/select-to-brush.scm, -image.scm, -pattern.scm will be removed from the repo for the master 2.99 branch.
These implement PDB procedure script-fu-selection-to-foo. Since 2005 they have been in the PDB, but not in the Gimp menus. Commit 642c4735 moved nearly the same algorithm to paste-as-foo.scm scripts. The soon-to-be-removed procedures are not called by any scripts in the Gimp repo.
The rationale is: at best these are convenience functions for converting from a selection, where more fundamentally you can copy a selection to the clipboard and then paste the clipboard to foo. IOW to do the same thing, copy then paste-as.
Removing them means that any third-party plugins that call script-fu-selection-to-foo will not work in Gimp 3 unless they are changed as described above.
