[Gimp-user] Exact crop question

[Zachary Leung]

Hi David,

Thanks for answering my question so quickly.

I realized that I should have phrased my question more carefully. What
I want is to be able to autocrop all the images matching a pattern,
say "movie*.jpg". How do I do that?

I tried something below, but that didn't work. =(

Thanks!

Zac

gimp -i -b '(plug_in_autocrop "movie00000.jpg")'

(define (zac-autocrop filename)
  (let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))
         (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
    (plug_in_autocrop RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable)
    (gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable filename filename)
    (gimp-image-delete image)))
