Command Line GIMP Batch Operations?
« on: March 04, 2011, 12:23:48 am »
I have been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work. No matter how many different things I try, I cannot figure out how to run a simple command line GIMP script. I keep getting errors like the following:
Code: [Select]
GIMP-Error: Opening 'c:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\0)'' failed: No such file or directory
It seems that any arguments I enter, it tries to parse them as files in GIMP's \bin\ directory. I've tried using the exact examples used in GIMP's batch mode tutorial, but they have the same problem. Any ideas?


In case this information will help:
  • GIMP 2.6.10
  • Windows 7 x64

At first I was trying a script I wrote, but when I had problem with that I tried the examples in their tutorial. For instance, after copying their simple-unsharp-mask example and saving it as script.scm in the .gimp-2.6\scripts\ directory, when I try this:
Code: [Select]
gimp-2.6.exe -i -b '(simple-unsharp-mask "0000.bmp" 5.0 0.5 0)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
I get the following:
Code: [Select]
GIMP-Error: Opening 'c:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\5.0' failed: No such file or directory

GIMP-Error: Opening 'c:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\0.5' failed: No such file or directory

GIMP-Error: Opening 'c:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\0)'' failed: No such file or directory

GIMP-Error: Opening 'c:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\bin\0)'' failed: No such file or directory

batch command executed successfully

Hm, that's weird, seems it treats your numerical constants as filenames.
