For those who have trouble (or reluctance) to use Console or ImageMagic or you want to use GEGL filters (which the great BIMP does not yet support), this plug-in can make batch processing a little easier without needing to open files as a layers.
Plugin based on the idea of:
- TinTran Run Code on Visible Layers Script for GIMP & here
and
- Saul Goode (Sg-Combine-Bg.scm - popular for animation, watermark or signature).
Be careful of:
- the possibility of losing metadata due to the possibility of using three types of files (bmp, jpg, png - which type opens, it saves it),
- size and type of overlay file (usually png with alpha channel - e.g .: for watermark or signature),
- it is possible to overwrite files (without warning) so try to select "Output Folder" empty,
- for Gegl Recommended for reading: Learn GEGL graph (Gimp Tutorials) by cli345 -> http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19463
Example custom code:
# for PDB:
pdb.gimp_image_scale(image, 250, 250)
(comment: scale the image using the default interpolation method. New image width=250 New image height=250)
pdb.plug_in_autocrop(image ,layer)
(comment: remove empty borders from the image)
# for script-fu:
pdb.script_fu_fuzzy_border(image ,layer ,(255,255,255),16,1,4,0,100,0,1)
pdb.script_fu_old_photo(image, layer, 1, 20, 1,0,0)
# for GEGL:
gegl_batch(image, layer, "cubism");gegl_batch(image, layer, "alien-map") <=or=> gegl_batch(image, layer, "cubism alien-map")
Basic syntax:
gegl_batch(image, layer, 'operations')
List of operations with parameters here.
# for Python:
pdb.python_fu_foggify(image, layer, "", (240,180,70), 1,100);
pdb.gimp_image_merge_visible_layers(image, 0)
comment: Plugin Fog finishes working with two layers you need to combine them - so you need to add a procedure pdb.gimp_image_merge_visible_layers
# for G'MIC
pdb.plug_in_gmic_qt( image, layer,1,0,'samj_Angoisse 1,5,0,5,100,2,4,1,250')
You can combine these operations into one command (separating them with a semicolon).
Here is an example of creating fancy seamless patterns:
pdb.plug_in_gmic_qt( image, layer,1,0,'deform 60.7');pdb.plug_in_gmic_qt( image, layer,1,0,'samj_Angoisse 1,5,0,5,100,2,4,1,250');pdb.gimp_image_scale(image, 250, 250);gegl_batch(image, layer,'tile-seamless')
Sample result:
sample_lena.png
sample_flower.png
sample_dog.png

Ver.0.2 (23/09/2021)
Changes:
- bug fix for load bmp file,
- add options: Change output extension.
Ver.0.3 (02/10/2021)
Changes:
Add options: Load all files Automatically Detected for Gimp without Raw files (it can be used as a converter of various types of files).
Ver.0.4 (09/10/2021)
Changes:
Add options: load Custom Code from file in the home directory: .../plug-ins/Actions-Presets/
How to create and use Actions-Presets see also here.
One of the ways to save the code:
Bugfix for: "Operation: CONVERSION ONLY"
(18/02/2023)
Ver.0.5 (23/05/2023)
Changes: - the division into extension types has been abandoned (now it always requires entering a new type of extension to save),
- added option to save with your own code, because the default save settings in Gimp don't always suit users. However, this requires the use of a PDB.
Examples custom code for save:
Example 1.
We want to save the jpg files to reduce the size with quality = 60 (default=90)
We search in PDB:
pdb.file_jpeg_save(image, drawable, filename, raw_filename, quality, smoothing, optimize, progressive, comment, subsmp, baseline, restart, dct)
For Custom code always replace:
drawable ➤ layer
filename ➤ outputPath
raw_filename ➤ outputPath
Other values according to your choice (based on Parameters information from PDB)
Our code might look like this:
pdb.file_jpeg_save(image,layer,outputPath,outputPath,0.60.0,1,1,0,"",2,1,0,0)
The extension type must match your own code used.
Example 2
Save as png with selected compression
PDB
pdb.file_png_save(image, drawable, filename, raw_filename, interlace, compression, bkgd, gama, offs, phys, time)
Custom code:
pdb.file_png_save(image,layer, outputPath, outputPath, 0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
Example 3
Save as dds with selected compression:
PDB:
pdb.file_dds_save(image, drawable, filename, raw_filename, compression_format, mipmaps, savetype, format, transparent_index, mipmap_filter, mipmap_wrap, gamma_correct, srgb, gamma, perceptual_metric, preserve_alpha_coverage, alpha_test_threshold)
Compression format (0 = None, 1 = BC1/DXT1, 2 = BC2/DXT3, 3 = BC3/DXT5, 4 = BC3n/DXT5nm, 5 = BC4/ATI1N, 6 = BC5/ATI2N, 7 = RXGB (DXT5), 8 = Alpha Exponent (DXT5), 9 = YCoCg (DXT5), 10 = YCoCg scaled (DXT5))
Custom code:
pdb.file_dds_save(image, layer, outputPath, outputPath, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
Ver. 0.7
(20/06/2023)
- added tabs,accept special national characters in the filename for ,CONVERSION ONLY using GIMP;
- for RAW file add "CONVERSION using ImageMagic" (does not accept national characters in paths and filename)
Download: ImageMagick-7.1.1-11 https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows
Ver. 0.8
(15/07/2023)
Change:
- moved ImageMagick (IM) to a new tab,
- added "Use 3 digit numbering?" and "Custom" code option to IM (however, its use requires plugin editing) and display in Gimp,
- non-ASCII character problem partially solved for IM (displaying when OUT path contains non-ASCII characters is not working)
