Hi Mark and Helmut,

I have made the following changes:

Corrected the drawing of arrow heads at the end of paths that have more than
2 points

Added extra controls to determine whether the wing length and brush thickness
are related to the path
length or in absolute pixels. This is instead of using negative numbers
for relative settings and
      positive numbers for absolute pixel values.

Added patches, supplied by Helmut, to allow the script to work in GIMP
V2.9/V2.10

   Removed previous edit comments and commented out code

The warning about paths with more than 2 points is now only given once
following an activation of GIMP
       or a refresh of the Script-Fu scripts

Swapped the up/down cursor key actions with the page up/down actions for the
LoW and BT value fields
        (the page keys now increment/decrement by 10 and the up/down keys by 1)

I copied and pasted the changes from the diff file noted above so hopefully I
have done this correctly - could you check on V2.9 for me please Helmut. The
other good news is that the modified code works fine in V2.8.16 (I made sure
that all 3 changes were executed by the script)

The revised version is at the same link as before:

Please let me know if there are any problems.
