FX Foundry constantly update scripts for newer Gimp version so 2 very different
thing may happen
1) in case of not more maintained script (that means very often) the FX-foundry
version is the most up to date
2) in the opposite case, when the script author is taking care to maintain and
update his scripts then may happen the opposite, that his version is the most
up to date
About the "officiality" of the plugin registry do not be confused, nobody
obliged plugin developer to report there their plugin or script, many do, many
other do not care,
in this last case user may help, if you check my account there you may see
that i added to registry the FX-Foundry pack you refer, The Gimp Animation
Package, the David Batch Processor ,UnsharpMask2, and several other plugin and
script
I'm not the developer of any of them, when i somehow help was just to find
compiled binary for Windows...But i added all them to the registry because
they was missed
(obviously is better if is the author to add them to the registry, the point is
if that do not happen, and the script/plugin is GPL, users may help,( obviously
taking care of the credits, and to add a link to the author page ,if any)
Back to the point in YOUR CASE suggest to use fx-FOUNDRY NOT TO GET THE WHOLE
PACK BUT TO GET WHAT YOU NEED .
For that you may use the fx-foundry -index, all fx-foundry scripts are tagged
for name, author name and categorized ,that will help your search and help
avoid to download duplicates of script that you already have, but under a
slightly different names.
Note that 2 clone of same script may....hum..to simplify the concept 2 clones
may kill each other so practically both will NOT work .(or only one randomly
chosen will work, )
