HI
iam making a utility to do batch processing for blur filters (command Line) using GIMP,i have tried the batch and it is working fine, but it takes around 30 seconds to run on my machine (I have a 3GHz processor, 1GB ram, windowsXP?)??When I use the Windows interface for GIMP, it doesn?t take more than a couple of seconds at max to apply any of the blur filters (so it is not a machine issue?). most of the time used to load filters/fonts/plug-ins/scripts/extensions how can i dont load these extra with me when running batch file & how can i use a single instance of GIMP to  run all my command????? Thanks

i apologize for not stripping the irrelevant stuff from this email.

the way i have run gimp from the commandline and had it perform many tasks in one instance is to write a script for it. win-gimp has a script-fu interpreter for this. i am using linux so i get python.

an application that is available for doing these tasks from the command line is ImageMagick although the difference between learning to run this from the commandline and writing script-fu for gimp might be small.

Try the --no-data and --no-fonts command-line options. And please read the man-page.
