Re: GIMP won't quit

[Roger Penn <roger.penn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like that is the best solution. However, not being a programmer myself and not even having the python script they mention (running on Windoze we just download the pre-compiled binaries) I wouldn't have the first clue how to implement a script-fu server in the environment we use.

The method of calling it that I mentioned always worked fine with the GIMP 2.2. It was only after the upgrade to 2.6 that it started spawning the extra process and leaving it behind, and I'm not sure what the difference is. So I will look into using the script-fu server solution in the future after I can work out all the how's and so-forth, but for now if anyone knows the inner workings of gimp-quit or why calling gimp.exe from the command line forks two gimp processes I'd sure be grateful for some insight. Thanks.

For what you want to do, Script-fu server should be the best option.
See http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-filters-script-fu.html (Section
10.6.4. Start Server).
