Ok, seemed I needed to use the console exe. Now code is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-console-2.6.exe" -i -b "(save-as-jpg "\"DSC_2636-Color24Bit.png\"" 0.7 "\"DSC_2636-Color24Bit.jpg\"")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"
Now to see if i can speed up the loading of GIMP for this as it took a few seconds longer to run than expected. >Hello All, >I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out the correct syntax for running a >scm that converted a file to .jpg. >The GIMP help was fine for the scm code, but not so good for the command >prompt of windows. >Here is what I found to work for a script named save-as-jpg.scm: >(i am on win 7 64 bit, hence the (x86) in the path... >"C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" -i -b "(save-as-jpg >"\"DSC_2636-Color24Bit.png\"" 0.7 "\"DSC_2636-Color24Bit.jpg\"")" -b >"(gimp-quit 0)" >that worked.
