[Gimp-user] Trouble calling running batch script in Windows XP

[Sam Kuper]

Dear Saul,

Thanks for your help. I was eventually successful in running my batch GIMP
script from the Windows XP command line, by using either of the following
commands:


gimp-2.4 -i -b "(batch-CUPify \"D:\\Documents and
Settings\\spk30\\Desktop\\alison_sl1_dear_friend_backup\\*\") (gimp-quit 0)"

gimp-2.4 -i -b "(batch-CUPify \"*.png\") (gimp-quit 0)"


and altering the script to read thus:


; Batch apply the CUPify script

(define (batch-CUPify pattern)

  (let* (
    (filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1))))

    (while (not (null? filelist))
      (let* (
        (filename (car filelist))
        (image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
        (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))

        ; Erode the image
        (plug-in-erode 1 image drawable 1 1 0.5 7 128 128)

        ; Photocopy the image
        (plug-in-photocopy 1 image drawable 35.51 0.583 0.342 0.200)

        ; Erode the image
       (plug-in-erode 1 image drawable 1 1 0.5 7 128 128)

        ; Flush the display
        (gimp-displays-flush)

        ; Save the image
        (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
        (gimp-image-delete image))
        (set! filelist (cdr filelist))))
)

(script-fu-register "batch-CUPify"
                    "Batch-CUPify"
                    "Make an image look like it was scanned to PDF by CUP"
                    "Sam Kuper"
                    "Sam Kuper"
                    "2007"
                    "GRAY*"
                    SF-IMAGE    "Image"         0
                    SF-DRAWABLE "Layer to process" 0)
; End script


Many thanks for the help,

Sam Kuper
