    In 2.10 there was a script that enabled one to scale and rotate
    patterns.

    Remember that GIMP works with pixels. Every time you do scale/rotate transformations like this, you degrade the quality of the image.

    May I suggest looking at Inkscape? That works with scalable geometry, and
    can be a useful adjunct to GIMP for some work.

    Is the scirpt no longer valid?

    Having this feature would be very useful.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Most, if not all plugins and scripts, will not work in v3. It uses
    python3 and all the old themes, plugins etc used older versions. If
    you know the author of the script try a search, they may have updated,
    or, like me, sit and wait for updated everything.

    From the script:

    --------------

    ; scale_pattern.scm
    ; by Rob Antonishen
    ; http://ffaat.pointclark.net

    ; Version 1.2 (20090413)
    ; Version 1.3 (20190404)

    -------------

    As the site has vanished, I guess it is a question of of waiting!

    But, I will give it another try. The script works like a charm in
    2.10. I think it was introduced when 2.08 came out -- or
    whichever version was operational in 2019.


    Exactly - I have have kept my 2.10.38 version for that reason.
