execute liquid rescale+gimp in windows console [solved]

execute liquid rescale+gimp in windows console

I am looking to run the liquid rescale plugin from the windows console. I started a thread on GimpTalk and they were able to help me out and create a script for me.

http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=37395&p=268558

You might have to contact the plug-in's authors about how to call LQR from a script. The source code seems to indicate that when run non-interactively, the plug-in only expects five parameters, but its PDB registration demands 24 parameters.

Anyideas on how I can get this to work?

This is due to a bug in the code (unrelated to what was mentioned in the quote, however, which is not true) - I simply never tried noninteractive mode, as I didn't know how it worked…
Anyway, this will be fixed in the new version, which is almost ready (out in a week or so). I'm also considering to include a script based on the one posted in GimpTalk. Stay tuned ;)

The new version is now ready and I have included some scripts for batch processing, as annouced (everything is already available from the git repository, it works under Linux).
I'm planning to release it tomorrow. However, the Windows version might take a little longer than usual to compile (I'm not doing the Windows compilation, but I expect it to have some troubles this time). I can't really say how long, actually.

The Windows version with the batch scripts is now available. The scripts are installed automatically.
The simplest one is called batch-gimp-lqr, to use it write from the command line something like this:

%ProgramFiles%/GIMP-2.0/bin/gimp-2.6.exe -i -f -b "(batch-gimp-lqr \"filename\" 800 600 \"\" \"\" \"\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

You can use the Procedure browser from the Help menu in GIMP to find out about the full-featured scripts and how to use the arguments (just ignore the run-mode argument which is already set to non-interactive by default).
