Script lookes like this: (define (script-fu-xcf2gif infile outfile) (let* ( (img (car (gimp-file-load 1 infile infile))) (drawable (car (gimp-drawable-get-image img))) ) (gimp-image-flatten img) (gimp-image-convert-indexed img 1 0 256 0 1 "") (file-gif-save 1 img drawable outfile outfile 1 0 0 0) ) ) which I am running from console like this: gimp -d -i -b '(script-fu-xcf2gif "blokada.xcf" "blokada.gif")' '(gimp-quit 1)' and it produces something like this: This is a development version of The GIMP. Debug messages may appear here. gimp_composite: use=yes, verbose=no +mmx +sse +sse2 -3dnow -altivec -vis (gimp:13064): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: (gimp:13061): Gimp-Plug-In-WARNING **: gimp: plug_in_flush(): error: Broken pipe (gimp:13061): Gimp-Plug-In-WARNING **: plug_in_close: plug-in aborted before sending its procedure return values GIMP: Plug-In crashed: "gif" (/usr/lib/gimp/1.3/plug-ins/gif) The dying Plug-In may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. batch command: experienced an execution error. (gimp:13061): Gimp-Plug-In-WARNING **: plug_in_close: plug-in aborted before sending its procedure return values The same code is executed successfully when run from xterm... I have also tried to make a display with Xvfb, but 1.3 theoritically does not need it, --display switch with combine with -i is marked as incorrect. I am using gimp-2.0pre3.
