Can Gimp do a batch Colorize operation?

Hi all, I am trying to modify a set of icons for the status bar of my cell phone. I have tried Paint.net (recommended by many themers) but the color never looks right. I can colorize the icons individually but that will take a long time to do all 71 icons. I tried using a macro to run Gimp and repeat the task on a loop but the "Export Image as PNG" dialog box keeps opening under the stack of Gimp windows and messes the macro up.

I've search the web but haven't found an answer to my question or a solution to my problem.

Is there any way to change the color of multiple .png files as a batch operation? Any help would be appreciated. I am on Windows 7 if it matters.

Thanks in advance.

There is a recent batch plugin, BIMP see: http://registry.gimp.org/node/26259

Might work in Win7, there was some problem with win themes, might be fixed now. Colorize works and changing name/output/type if required.

It works, sort of. I was extremely happy until I saw the end result. I set it to convert to RGB first then colorize. Unfortunately it's not working the same as the operations would if done manually. See an example with the link below.

Thanks for the help, that was exactly what I was looking for I just don't understand why it doesn't work properly.
