Try it without the "sudo". When you use sudo, you are running as a different user and so your own user settings (ie, the DISPLAY) are ignored. Quoting "Samuel V. Green III" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I just finished a new install of GIMP version 2.2.14 via MacPorts. > > When I issue command : su

'file-glob' used to return a list of strings in GIMP 2.2, now it returns a vector. You can make your code work by using the following substitution: (car (vector->list (cadr (file-glob "*.png" 1 However, Script-fu should probably be amended to return lists for PDB STRINGARRAY values (if

It seems you would basically want an inverted copy of the blue channel with white regions being transparent. There are dozens of ways to accomplish this. I would propose the following: Decompose you image to RGB components. In the new image, hide the red and green layers. Add a layermask to th

I do not believe that single-quoting a command line argument in Windows works the same as BASH (Linux). Try using double-quotes and escape any double-quotes which appear in your argument: gimp -i -b "(batch-CUPify \"*.png\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" If you include directories in your path, also escape
