Has anyone tried the new batch image plugin yet?

It works in Gimp-2.8 btw.

No-one?

It seems pretty useful as you can add filter options from Gimps default filters in batch also.
So for like say an animation that needed to be colored in all frames. You should be able to do that with this plugin. "colorize"

Kind of a neat tool for Gimps arsenal.

i discovered only now thank to your post

it seems pretty cool

I must try, and maybe make a enhancement request:
Batch is for files but will be great a option to make "batch operation" on all layers of open image

Well honestly that using GAP is not relevant since layers may be converted in frames, and so in image files with a single click, but for not gap users could be useful make "batch" also on all layers

Yes i agree PC. I posted a script request for something similar.

Just got round to compiling this for linux & Gimp 2.8 RC1, seems to work ok.

Tried it on several images with the presets, that worked. The watermark function could well be useful.

Just a test on a single image and "Other Gimp Procedure" not 100% but more likely something I was doing wrong.

Screenshots, bit large so I won't post in-line http://i.imgur.com/hHDvV.jpg

Thanks Rod, I did not know that plugin.

Quote:

You can use predefined manipulations such resize, crop, flip, rotate, color correction, sharpen, watermark, format conversion, rename, but also select an other installed plugin or script-fu and apply it to each image.

That makes this batch plugin very powerful.
I've given a look on GNU/Linux, but I will try later in depth.

I'll try to explain.
When you have a set of images and for example you want to put them in a pdf to make an e-book, not enough to resize them to match the size then. If you do not normalize dpi resolution, then the images will appear in different sizes on the pdf. I think it has to do with the printable size.
Well, it's very hard to get on GNU/Linux an application that has an option to normalize dpi in batch proccess.
I found this script that apparently can be used by BIMP:
https://registry.gimp.org/node/24464

But I do not know which is the technique that the script used to normalize the resolution, but would be nice if you could choose which is the dpi resolution to use in all images.
I think I have a request for BIMP developer

Edit:I see that script I mentioned does not work for that I want to do.

- Replaced "Sharpen" with "Sharp or blur"
- More customizations in the "Change Format" dialog
- In "Other GIMP procedure" dialog, 'toggle' values are now represented by a GtkToggleButton
- Code and memory allocation optimizations

Thank you very much Alessandro !

Hello!
This is an extremely useful plugin. I have one problem thought...
I need to convert some PNG from Indexed color mode to RGB. When I'm doing this manually, through Image menu -> Mode - RGB and then export the file as PNG, or overwrite the original, all is working well. But when I'm using BIMP to convert in RGB from "Other GIMP procedure" option (I tested all methods there), the image is loosing the fade transparency on the edges.
I put a screenshot with manually convert and through BIMP.
