A problem you have is the multiple layers looking at your double quotes: the shell interpreter that calls Gimp, and the script-fu interpreter. Quotes are processed and not seen by Gimp and script-fu.
Since you are on a Unix shell, try this: printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" This will print a line per "token" passed to the actual command: gimp -i -b (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE /home/user/ev.jpg /home/user/ev.jpg) -b (gimp-quit 0) As you can see, the quotes around the file names have been removed. You have to either escape them: printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"/home/user/ev.jpg\" \"/home/user/ev.jpg\")" -b "(gim p-quit 0)" gimp -i -b (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg") -b (gimp-quit 0) Or use outer single quotes (but this makes variable substitution in the shell a bit contrived: printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b '(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")' -b '(gimp-qu it 0)' gimp -i -b (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg") -b (gimp-quit 0) Or, if script-fu supports it (that's what I do for pythin-fu), outer double qoutes and single quotes for the scrpit-fu strin printf "%s\n" gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE '/home/user/ev.jpg' '/home/user/ev.jpg')" -b "(gimp-qu it 0)" gimp -i -b (file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE '/home/user/ev.jpg' '/home/user/ev.jpg') -b (gimp-quit 0) On 29/07/2022 05:00, Jean-Pierre HOARAU wrote:
I'm trying to write a script shell and use a procedure. I don't understand how to give the parameters to the script. I do not have the good number or parameters. Can someone write to me the command line that I have to enter to use the procedures, for example, file-jpeg-load and file-jpeg-save? I tried this and it doesn't work: gimp -i -b "(file-jpeg-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "/home/user/ev.jpg" "/home/user/ev.jpg")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" Thank you in advance. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership:https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives:https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
