Michael, You're completely right, the web archive of that original post has it for download. Here's the web archive article, which specifically mentions downloading svg-to-raster.scm. https://web.archive.org/web/20140214102644/http://porpoisehead.net/mysw/index.php?pgid=gimp_svg Fortunately, web archive had a copy of the scheme source.

Re: [Gimp-user] SVG to PNG using a script
I'm confused, I'm attempting to use the gimp command line, is it no longer supported? Why am I being told to use other tools still? This is a specific attempt to use Gimp for a task. No additional software installed. If Gimp ships with a usable version of python in a reliable location, I'd be happy to leverage that, but the question is in regards to a target system with only Gimp installed, assuming it doesn't have Inkscape, ImageMagick Python or Perl. I'm asking how to use the gimp command line only. - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 4:24 PM Liam R E Quin wrote: > On Tue, 2020-04-21 at 15:47 -0400, Tres Finocchiaro via gimp-user-list > wrote: > > > > > > I was wonder if there was a way to utilize Gimp's scripting system to > > convert an SVG to a PNG? > > Yes, from python, perl or scheme (script-fu). > > there's also batch mode add-ons such as phatch. > > You might prefer to use Inkscape for this one - it can do this in the > command-line. > > > > > > The best resource I've found is here however, attempts to run this on > > my > > machine are failing using GIMP 2.1.0. > > Hoping you mean 2.10.18 > > > I'm using MacOS to write the script, but the target platform is > > Windows. > > We are a release behind n the Mac because we don't have a Mac > maintainer right now. > > > I understand there are many other tools for performing this > > conversion (and > > I'm leveraging these tools in other parts of code) but I was hoping > > to > > write this as a fallback for this particular system. > > For the error you're getting try changing file-svg to file-svg-save > maybe. > > slave > > -- > Liam Quin - https://www.fromoldbooks.org/ > > Slave in full-time voluntary servitude > > ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Yes, from python, perl or scheme (script-fu). there's also batch mode add-ons such as phatch.

[Gimp-user] Readjust feature of Unified Transform moves pivot
Good day. I use Unified Transform to overlay very large layers where the actual points that I want to line up can be anywhere in the overlay and not just at the edges or near a transform handle. because of this requirement the new Readjust feature of the Unified Transform tool is very useful. There is one issue with it and that is that it moves the pivot each time it is used, to the centre of the new adjustment frame. I would like to be able to keep the pivot in the existing location. I had thought that the option in the UT tool settings to Lock the pivot would prevent this but unfortunately it does not. Is it possible to consider this as a feature request for a future release. -- BWK (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] SVG to PNG using a script
Hi, I'm looking into Gimp as a viable scripting solution for a project however most of the scripting references I'm finding are either sparse or dated. I was wonder if there was a way to utilize Gimp's scripting system to convert an SVG to a PNG? The best resource I've found is here however, attempts to run this on my machine are failing using GIMP 2.1.0. http://www.jasonhardin.com/programming/2012/08/23/Gimp-svg-to-png-script/#disqus_thread The script I'm running: gimp -i --batch='(svg-to-raster "src.svg" "dst.png" 72 0 0)' --batch='(gimp-quit 0)' Unfortunately it throws the following error: batch command experienced an execution error: Error: eval: unbound variable: file-svg I'm using MacOS to write the script, but the target platform is Windows. I understand there are many other tools for performing this conversion (and I'm leveraging these tools in other parts of code) but I was hoping to write this as a fallback for this particular system.
