If you're manipulating XML, then you could add your images to ~/.rawstudio/batch-queue.xml - then you would only have to press start after starting Rawstudio. It's not CLI, but I think it's the best we can do. > Throw in the ability to batch process an entire folder, and preferably > only the files of a given priority in that folder, now that you're at > it; I sorely miss that sometimes.

I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll be able to do that in the near future. Rawstudio really needs an X server. > While we're on the topic of batch processing, when can we expect to see > Rawstudio take advantage of multiple cores?

Expect version 2.0 to take advantage of multiple cores/cpu's. > Anders> Would a D-Bus interface do? > I doubt it, but I really couldn't say.
