Thanks for the reply.

I get your point about the advantages of Inkscape, but I am just an
amateur who plays around of straighten up a few photos, add a caption,
may be and put in some "frames" around photos. This last part is where
scaling the patterns come in. I am certainly not a professional doing 
any kind of art. So I can quite happy with GIMP, in spite of some of
its limitations. 

But, scaling patterns works in GIMP 2.10, and so I will stick to it
for at least those jobs that need it. 

Hopefully, the old script will be make to work in GIMP 3.0 as well.

Thanks again.
