I'm trying to automate a process, and don't want to have to manually start ufraw. I could start ufraw and use its "gimp" button to transfer control to gimp, but that doesn't do what I want either -- if you tell ufraw to "save" to get the .ufraw file saved, it quits; so then you can't transfer control to gimp. Fundamentally, I want to do the following: specify a set of raw file names to process specify a destination directory for each raw file: a. process in ufraw a1. manual crop, etc., if desired a2. save a .ufraw file in the source directory b. process in gimp b1. manual manipulation if desired b2. automatic resizing and sharpening, etc b3. automatically generate a .jpeg file in the destination directory With the exception of the input file names and the output directory, (and a1 and b1) I want everything else done automatically. I tried using a shell script and having ufraw write a .tif intermediary; however, that has the following problem: In step b3, I need to get the destination directory name, and I can't figure out how to do that automatically. A command line arg like "-DDEST_DIR foo" would be great, but I don't see anything in the man page for defining an arbitrary input arg which a script could have access to. An arg in a script can have a fixed default value, but that's not what I need. One could get really gross and dynamically generate a script with the proper default for the arg before starting gimp, but that's sick :-). I'm all ears for any suggestions.
