You type in the Console this, followed by Enter key : (file-gih-save 1 1 2 filename ...) Start everything with open brace and end with close brace.. For run_mode, only 2 choice, 0 or 1, using either shouldn't matter, For image, use 1, this is the first image you open since Gimp started, For drawable, use 2, this is the first layer of the first image you open, Fill in the rest of the parameters with the respective values, then end with close brace and Enter. If you want to know what are the default values for file-gih-save, you can choose to save the image as Brush Pipe gif format, it will show a window which tells you the default values it is using, something like Number of cells 1, Dimension 1, Ranks 1 random.. This PDB call is rather long, if you want a shorter example, try this in the Script-fu Console, (plug-in-vinvert 1 1 2) Once you get it done in Console, you can use the same parameters in a script, so you can convert it to a batch job..
