Sven Hi Sven, I created the script file on the webpage and called it batch-unsharp-mask In the script file I have these lines: (define (batch-unsharp-mask pattern radius amount threshold) (let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1 (while filelist (let* ((filename (car filelist)) (image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename))) (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image (plug-in-unsharp-mask RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable radius amount threshold) (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename) (gimp-image-delete image)) (set! filelist (cdr filelist) This is the command I run from the console: gimp -i -b '(batch-unsharp-mask "*.jpg" 1.0 0.5 1)' '(gimp-quit 0)' And this is the end result: No batch interpreter specified, using the default 'plug_in_script_fu_eval'. batch command: experienced an execution error. A bit of background info, I am running Fedora Core 3, gimp version 2.2.6 and Fedora is up to date with all of the released updates. Thanks!

To be honest, no, because documentation is absolutely horrid in GIMP. However, you may wish to investigate books on Perl and Python, as well as Web Documentation on Scheme, Script-Fu and SIOD. In The GIMP, there is a SIOD console, and the procedure viewer lists the prototypes for the commands that can be accessed by scripts. BTW, the procedure browser lists commands with an underscore, but my version of the SIOD (Scheme) interpreter in the console uses dashes in places of the underscores. First, you may wish to investigate the file_glob, and then things such as gimp-file-open or whatever it was called. You might also want to look up the colour exchange and the like (I believe the commands are prefixed with plugin- or something). Although at this rate, surely it must have been faster to do it manually by hand than go through the trouble of scripting with GIMP? Unless you plan to due this often, repetitively, to many large batches, it's probably faster to do it by hand. I'm new at scripting too, however, so I can't suggest a better method (I don't even know if this is the _recommended_ method of scripting). Consider asking gimp-developer, since apparently that was supposed to be the designate mailing list for script/plugin development. *shrugs* -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Batch image conversion
I really don't understand much about gimp batch mode but I think you could write a bash script to do it with convert.
