Problem with Text Change Attributes Script

I'm trying to run Gary Barton's Text Change Attributes Script in PSP9 but
I cannot get it to work. I keep getting an error as below, would appreciate
any advise please....Pat

Executing RunScript
Executing ReturnVectorObjectProperties
Executing ReturnLayerProperties
Executing SelectTool
Executing SelectPreviousTool
Executing GetCommandInfo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Pat\My Documents\My PSP
Files\Scripts-Restricted\Pixelnook\Text Change Attributes.PspScript", line
24, in Do
textInfo = GetToolInfo(Environment, 'Text')['Segments'][0]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

Script 'Text Change Attributes' has completed with an error.

I get the same error Pat
sorry I can't fix it :(( mind you it isn't a horse so
I wouldn't know how to even start to fix it.. LOL
As I said in the scrapbook the script output probably tells the
scripting-whizzes everything they need to know but not me.

LastStart = None # put it off the canvas
for Seg in TextObj['Segments']:
if Seg['Start'] is not None and \
Seg['Start'] != (0.0, 0.0) and \
Seg['Start'] != LastStart:
if CurrentLine is not None:
Lines.append( CurrentLine )
CurrentLine = ''
LastStart = Seg['Start']

doesn't seem to find the object "segments" it is probably
a Python mystery library thing ;o) too much for my very small brain.

Most probably some aspect of how text is described has changed
between PSP 8 and PSP 9. This is likely to be discussed in the
scripting documentation available here:
http://www.jasc.com/support/custome...9components.asp
I don't really have time to try and compare the PSP 8 documentation
(assuming I have it) with PSP 9 documentation. Suz might know off
hand though.

Thanks Carrie for taking the time. I guessed it might have been due to the
different versions but couldn't run a test as haven't reinstalled 8. Wish
there was some way to do it manually though as a group instead of one by
one. Will just have to make sure whatever font and size I pick this time I'm
happy with....Pat

Thanks Spandex for taking the time to answer. I guessed it probably would be
due to the difference in 9 to 8 but thought maybe I was doing something
wrong or there maybe is a workaround to group text to change the font etc.
that I hadn't learnt about...Pat

Hi, Patricia. Saw this post the other day, and believe it or not, have been
working on it ever since!!!! I've been trying to determine just what needs
to be changed in that script to make it work in PSP 9 and beyond, and
FINALLY, early this morning, got it working. Now, I'm waiting for Gary
Barton's permission to modify his script, as he's the original author. Once
I get that, I'll post the converted script, that DOES work in PSP 9 and X.
As others have noted, text changed between PSP 8 and PSP 9, and that's the
problem. However, keep your fingers crossed, and perhaps we'll have a new
script later today. Suz

Somehow I thought that might be happening :) Well done.

That's fantastic news Suz. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I
thought maybe my post wasn't being seen by others. I'm sure it is one
script that can be used often in scrapbooking. I know as my work progresses
I often change my mind about the font choice or size or colour. It wastes so
much time doing each one separately. Will keep my fingers crossed....Pat

I contacted Gary Barton, the original author, and he's created a new version
that works in all versions of PSP. I've asked him to post it here in the
Scripting newsgroup, or to place it on his site. Should have either the
script, or some more information about how to obtain it, some time today or
tomorrow. Gary's new version works like a charm! Suz
