I am sure that many users would find this useful. > I know several applications already provide some of this functionality > outside of GIMP, but I believe they can be done better.

The main problem with approaches such as Dave's batch processor is that it only allows a very limited set of operations. It probably does this because it has to implement it's own user interface for each of the allowed operations. In my opinion, this is a major drawback. GIMP has a lot of functionality that would be interesting to use in a batch process and the batch processor shouldn't limit you to a few. We have a long-term plan to solve this and it is based on the GEGL port. I wonder what your plans about this are. Please tell us more about them.
