In order to fix it, I went into my scripts folder in Windows Explorer and went to Organize –> Folder and Search Options, then on the View tab, I unchecked the box for “Hide extensions for known file types”, and then I could see that it was called watermark-it.scm.txt Then I could just click on the file name to change it, and it allowed me to remove the .txt part.

I hope that helps!

Could you tell me where-in the editor- it will allow me to save this script properly?
Thanx,

Anyway – here's what I would suggest if you want to still use the script – play around with the image you want to use as a watermark outside of the script – create a new layer and put it in there and play with different layer blending modes (hard light worked best for me, but might not be what you want, for instance) until you get exactly what you want. Once you find what you want, change that one line to be whatever blending mode you want – so if you decided Soft Light worked best for you, that line would have SOFTLIGHT-MODE instead of VALUE-MODE. Then (and this is important!) Refresh the script in Gimp by going to Filter –> Script-Fu –> Refresh Scripts. and try again. You still won't get a new layer, but hopefully it will look better.

… I just realized I basically restated everything I already wrote in the article. I guess that just proves I really don't know what I'm doing with this particular script!
