Is it possible to have gimp run a script that located in an arbitrary
directory? It seems that gimp wants to run scripts from
~/.gimp-n.n/[plug-ins|scripts]/
I often use gimp scripts to non-interactively create many images based
on a few parameters. In these cases I use gimp as if it were a compiler
e.g.
gimp scripts ==> source code
gimp ==> compiler
images ==> object files
Sometimes I even use a makefile run gimp and check all the source files
into a source control project.
Given this way of using gimp, it would be very handy if I could run gimp
in some way so that it would run a specified script that is not located
in one of the standard gimp directories. I have found that it is
possible to specify the entire script on the command line via:
gimp -i -b "$(cat script.scm)"
But this has a couple problems:
1) All of the code exists on the same "line" so if there is a syntax
error it is very difficult to track down
2) It only works for scripting languages where white space is not
significant. This means you can't use this with python-fu (my preferred
scripting language)
Am I missing something? Is there an obvious way to do this?
If there is no way to do this, would it make a good feature request?
Robert.
