[Gimp-user] Re: Script-Fu - Batch Mode Problem (ATTEMPT #2)
Doh! Please Ignore that last attachmentI added the wrong one. I was testing something else at that point. This one illustrates what I was trying to do. --Matt -- Forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- On Thu, 19 Dec 2002 04:32:07 - (GMT), pcg( Marc)@goof(A.).(Lehmann )com wrote: On Thu, Dec 19, 2002 at 07:35:36PM -, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: image resizing from the command line. I know that many of you out there are going to point out that ImageMagick will do what I am looking for. I have already gone down that path and the image quality of the scaled images is not up Then you probably have done sth. wrong, as ImageMagick's algorithms are way superior (and way slower ;) to the mere cubic interpolation gimp uses. Are you sure you tried sth. like: convert sourcefile -filter mitchell -geometry newgeometry destfile ok, I tried thisand I got an image that was not up to par with what can be done with Adobe's Image ready doing a similiar process. However, with Gimp, I can produce an image that is better and smaller than what Image Ready and ImageMagick can do.The mitchell filter was better than the cubic filter by far...but they were still pixelated when you started to look at the images closely. I personally think the images are good enough for the webhowever, the client that I am working for is accustom to having an image of a very high quality. also, other filters than the mitchell filter (which is usually best) are also worth a try, cubic for example should rather closely match gimp's quality. Well, I am no scirpt-fu expert, but I get a lot of mail that tells me that scirpt-fu simply doesn't work noninteractively, or at leats not correctly, or returns too earfly etc.. etc.. Ok, if script-fu is not meant to be run from the command line without interactionthen why the batch mode option? from the gimp man pages -b, --batch commands Execute the set of commands non-interactively. The set of commands is typically in the form of a script that can be executed by one of the Gimp scripting extensions. Based on the documentation I have seen, I should be able to call a script-fu function and everything should work. That is not the case. Attached is a cut down version of the script that I am attempting to call. I am calling this script from the command line as follows.. gimp -b '(script-fu-test-script 1 200 200 /export/home/matt/toprocess/W-49M01_ven.jpg /export/home/matt/toprocess/W-49M01_ven_n.jpg)' When this is run...I get back batch command: executed successfully. However, there is no outputted image to be found. If I change the 1 to 0 to run interactivly, it pops up the prompt for me to enter in the values needed for the script and runs successfully. Is there any way of outputting what has been passed into a script? Thoughts? Comments?

hi lord knows, i don't know the answer to that directly, but it might be here: http://adrian.gimp.org/batch/batch.html carol On 2002-12-19 at 1935.36 -, [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed this: Hello, I am having an issue with a Script that I have written being called from the command line.

Re: [Gimp-user] Re: Script-Fu - Batch Mode Problem
Yeah...I have read that already and have gotten a ton of great tips on how to make things workbut I am still having the problem after all that is said and done. It appears that the script doesn't want to accept the parameters that I am passing in properly. This has been frustrating me for several days now so I am open to any suggestions.
