batch to run FU-quick-sketch
Help me please , I'm very rookie
I use GIPM 2.8 on windoz7 64bit
i need to create a batch file to automize an effect on a large number of pics
but I can't find the right sintax; i receive always "invalid argument"
my go.bat file is:
"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" -n -i -b '(FU-quick-sketch \"HS01568.jpg\" "HS01568.jpg" 30)' '(gimp-quit 0)'
the script is locate in:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts\FU_sketch_quick-sketch.scm
(it work fine in GIPM in interactive mode)
script content is:
£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££
(define (FU-quick-sketch theImage
theLayer
blurAmount
)
;Initiate some variables
(let* (
(layerCopy 0)
(layerGrey (car (gimp-drawable-is-gray theLayer)))
)
;Start an undo group so the process can be undone with one undo
(gimp-image-undo-group-start theImage)
;Rename the layer
(gimp-item-set-name theLayer "Original")
;Select none
(gimp-selection-none theImage)
;Change the layer Greyscale if it isn't already
(if (= layerGrey 0) (gimp-desaturate theLayer))
(set! layerCopy (car (gimp-layer-copy theLayer 1)))
;Copy the layer
(gimp-image-insert-layer theImage layerCopy 0 0)
;Rename the layer
(gimp-item-set-name layerCopy "Dodge layer")
;Invert the layer
(gimp-invert layerCopy)
;Change the layers mode
(gimp-layer-set-mode layerCopy 16)
;Blur the dodge layer
(plug-in-gauss 1 theImage layerCopy blurAmount blurAmount 0)
;Finish the undo group for the process
(gimp-image-undo-group-end theImage)
;Ensure the updated image is displayed now
(gimp-displays-flush)
)
)

I've not looked at the details of your script as you say it works interactively but I can see something wrong with your batch file.
Windows/DOS doesn't use the single quote mark in the same way as Linux and you've forgotten a -b for gimp-quit, so try this:
"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" -n -i -b "(FU-quick-sketch \"HS01568.jpg\" "HS01568.jpg" 30)" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"
That said, I've noticed that your script can't work anyway as it expects to get a layer id NUMBER, not a file name STRING. This is a common mistake:

txs for the replythe script
txs for the reply
the script in interactive mode work fine
using your sintax the error is:
batch command experienced an execution error:
Error: ( : 1) eval: unbound variable: HS01568.jpg
(Type any character to close this window)
(now I feel near the solution) ;-)
using a number..
"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" -i -b "(FU-quick-sketch \"HS01568.jpg\" 1 30)" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"
the error is..
GIMP-Error: Calling error for procedure 'gimp-drawable-is-gray':
Procedure 'gimp-drawable-is-gray' has been called with an invalid ID for argumen
t 'drawable'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on a layer that doesn't ex
ist any longer.

aaaahh
Both theImage and theDrawable
Both theImage and theDrawable in your procedure's signature are expected to be integer IDs of a loaded image and a drawable thereof.
See http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/ for an example of how to wrap a procedure into code that loads and processes image files one by one.
how can I get IDs of a loaded
how can I get IDs of a loaded image?
This is what the (let* ...)
This is what the (let* ...) Block in the Basic Batch example does - it assigns the IDs of the loaded image and the active drawable of that image to the variables image and drawable, respectively.
