Re: [Gimp-user] Question about scripting
Ok, so some "clever" reformatting of my answer happened, so let's try again. If this is still garbled, here is a screenshot of what I mean: https://imgur.com/vBKHf1g A problem you have is the multiple layers looking at your double quotes: the shell interpreter that calls Gimp, and the script-fu interpreter. Quotes are processed and not seen by Gimp and script-fu. Since you are on a Unix shell, try this: printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" This will print a line per "token" passed to the actual command: * gimp * -i * -b * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE /home/user/ev.jpg /home/user/ev.jpg) * -b * (gimp-quit 0) As you can see, the quotes around the file names have been removed. You have to either escape them: printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"/home/user/ev.jpg\" \"/home/user/ev.jpg\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" * gimp * -i * -b * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg") * -b * (gimp-quit 0) Or use outer single quotes (but this makes variable substitution in the shell a bit contrived: printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b '(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)' * gimp * -i * -b * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg") * -b * (gimp-quit 0) Or, if script-fu supports it (that's what I do for pythin-fu), outer double qoutes and inner single quotes for the scrpit-fu strings printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE '/home/user/ev.jpg' '/home/user/ev.jpg')" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" * gimp * -i * -b * (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE '/home/user/ev.jpg' '/home/user/ev.jpg') * -b * (gimp-quit 0) On 29/07/2022 05:00, Jean-Pierre HOARAU wrote: I'm trying to write a script shell and use a procedure.
