To quote a string in scheme, use double quotes, a single quote quotes (s-)expressions. So you'll have to use single quotes for the shell. And by the way, you can group expressions with `begin', to ease the quoting:

So try this:

c:\Programme\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b '(begin (script-autocrop "24789232_1.jpg") (gimp-quit 0))'

Good luck,

Niels.

What is wrong with my call? Thanks for help in advance
Nico

P.S.: a call like
c:\Programme\GIMP-2.0\bin>c:\Programme\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-console-2.6.exe --batch-interpreter plug-in-script-fu-eval -i -d -b "(script-autocrop \"c:/temp/24789232_1.jpg\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

doesn't work too. Error-output:

This should help

FULLPATH = "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe" arguments = "-b ""(ajl-script-fu-lineify-batch \""C:\\temp\\convert\\*.jpg\"" 8 4 4 2)" ' +" (gimp-quit 0)" arguments = "-b ""(ajl-script-fu-autocrop-batch \""C:\\temp\\TM1\\Test\\*.jpg\"")" ' +" (gimp-quit 0)"
runfolder = "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\" retval = ShellExecute(0, "open", FULLPATH, arguments, _ runfolder, 1)

GIMP is great stuff...

But the best way to use it effectively seems to be through scripts and command line interaction. It is a daunting task to learn the scripting language and all the little tricks to make it do obviously useful things.

I hope that those who develop GIMP start morphing its interface into a more modern form so that those who have other things to do can keep doing those other things and at the same time make fuller use of GIMP.
