Umm, yes, this definitely is not a Filter type plug-in, so you won't be able to run it in GIMP through the pspi plug-in. Maybe it's an Automation plug-in? > So, can this be done in the GIMP?

Except that maybe there is no exposed way to do readdir() and stat() type stuff from script-fu? From Gimp-Perl it certainly would be possible, but that won't help you as Gimp-Perl hasn't been ported to Windows. But: For batch image conversion and similar tasks, it is always suggested to use ImageMagick instead of GIMP. I wouldn't at all be surprised if ImageMagick had this functionality? Check www.imagemagick.org. If ImageMagick does what you need, I don't think there really is much sense in writing a script or plug-in to do it from GIMP, as this basically is a batch job -style task and not interactive image manipulation. --tml
