Re: [Gimp-user] Console problem
[ date ] 2002/02/19 | Tuesday | 09:32 AM [ author ] Mike McIntyre [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's getting the first command done okay, but none of the subsequent ones. What simple but important thing am I missing ? Try wrapping all those s-expressions inside a begin. For example: ; gimp-quit will not be executed this time... ; gimp -c -i -b '(set! x 5) (gimp-quit 0)' ; however, if you wrap it all in a begin, ; everything will run ; gimp -c -i -b '(begin (set! x 5) (gimp-quit 0))' The docs aren't really clear on this, but the -b option only takes one top-level s-expression. The Script-Fu Server is similar in that only one top-level s-expression is executed per request. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Console problem
Hi I'm trying to open jpeg files and close them again with lower quality with the intention of reducing the file size, making the files load quicker in browsers. The code I'm trying to use is .. gimp -c -i -b \ '(set! theImage (gimp-file-load 1 /home/mike/homepages/wgtn_fso/2002-01/dinner-with-5-strangers/pics/everyone_together.jpg /home/mike/homepages/wgtn_fso/2002-01/dinner-with-5-strangers/pics/everyone_together.jpg))' \ '(set! Finalpicture (gimp-image-active-drawable theImage))' \ '(gimp-image-set-filename Finalpicture everyone_together.gimpd.jpg)' \ '(gimp-file-save 1 theImage theLayer /home/mike/homepages/wgtn_fso/2002-01/dinner-with-5-strangers/pics/everyone_together.gimpd.jpg everyone_together.gimpd.jpg)' \ '(gimp-quit 0)' It's getting the first command done okay, but none of the subsequent ones.

Re: [Gimp-user] Console problem
Hi Mike - At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you really don't want to use the GIMP for this task. It's ever so much easier with ImageMagick. Try something like this: for image in *.jpg do convert -quality 50 $image loqual_$image done Read man convert for all the details. There may be cases where it makes sense to use the GIMP in batch mode, but they are few and far between, and I don't think you have one of them here.
