gimp-fu

gimp-fu is a collection of GIMP 2 batch mode scripts for bulk editing of images

Install

Copy the batch script into your GIMP installation scripts directory. Goto Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Scripts to view or update paths.

Run

GIMP can be run from the terminal in batch mode. If you wanted to autocrop a directory of PNG then call the function and quit gimp process as a chain of commands like so:

gimp -ib '(batch-autocrop "*.png")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

You can chain as many commands as you like to crop multiple glob patterns or call various functions:

gimp -ib '(batch-autocrop "subdir1/*.png")' -ib '(batch-autocrop "subdir2/*.png")' ...

For more complex usage consider making a shell script to invoke GIMP commands with additional logic.

Create

GIMP uses Tiny Scheme which is a subset of the Scheme functional Lisp-like langauge ... Use Help -> Procedure Browser to explore GIMP functions you can call from scripts!
