I do not believe that single-quoting a command line argument in Windows works the same as BASH (Linux). Try using double-quotes and escape any double-quotes which appear in your argument:
gimp -i -b "(batch-CUPify \"*.png\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" If you include directories in your path, also escape your backslashes: gimp -i -b "(batch-CUPify \"D:\\Documents and Settings\\spk30\\Desktop\\alison_sl1_dear_friend_backup\\*.png\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)" You may need to experiment as I do not run Windows and have no way of testing the commands. > I am using GIMP 2.4.1 on Windows XP, and I am trying to run the script by > going to the command prompt, changing to a directory full of .png files I > want to process with the script, and entering the command: > > gimp-2.4 -i -b '(batch-CUPify "*.png")' '(gimp-quit 0)' > > This gives me the following messages: > > "GIMP-Error: Opening 'D:\Documents and > Settings\spk30\Desktop\alison_sl1_dear_fri > end_backup\*.png)'' failed: Invalid argument > > GIMP-Error: Opening 'D:\Documents and > Settings\spk30\Desktop\alison_sl1_dear_fri > end_backup\'(gimp-quit' failed: No such file or directory > > GIMP-Error: Opening 'D:\Documents and > Settings\spk30\Desktop\alison_sl1_dear_fri > end_backup\0)'' failed: No such file or directory > > No batch interpreter specified, using the default > 'plug-in-script-fu-eval'. > batch command: executed successfully." > > > I would be very grateful for any help you can offer. > > Many thanks in advance, > > Sam > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-user mailing list > Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user > _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
