Oops... The second procedure call should be
(file-print-gtk RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image)
The main reason that I don't want the print dialog to appear is that it
shows too many possibilities to mess the system up. As mentioned, it is
going to be a photobooth, and there should be only the three buttons
visible, which my application provides. They are 'Take photo', 'Print
photo', 'Clear photo'.
The whole script looks like this:
(define (script-fu-quick-print inImage)
(let* (
(image (car(gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE inImage inImage)))
)
(file-print-gtk RUN-INTERACTIVE image)
(gimp-image-delete image)
)
)
(script-fu-register
"script-fu-quick-print"
"Quick Print"
"Prints non interactively"
"Nikkez"
"Copyright 2014"
"July 2014"
""
SF-FILENAME "Input file" "./Projects/photobooth/testimage.jpg"
)
(script-fu-menu-register "script-fu-quick-print" "<Image>/File/Quick print")
