I recommend you to use gimp-console instead of gimp; The GUI is irrelevant to what you're doing. Briefly, you need to: 1. Load the image 2. Generate the thumbnail 3. Delete the image from memory (using gimp-image-delete) for each image in the list of images. For a start, invoking gimp-console once for each image is fine. Later I suggest you run gimp-console only once, for greatly increased speed (make gimp's scripting loop over the files, rather than your scripting.). You could do this very easily if you can rely on gimp-python being installed on the users' machines, and use that instead of Script-Fu. (you can also write a loop in Script-fu, but I have very little idea HOW.) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
