[Gimp-developer] Using gimp in a script

[John Tapsell <johnflux gmail com>]

Can I improve this somehow?

I have a gimp plugin as myplugin.py.  I want to run this from the command
line on given file(s).  I wrote this script which works, but I'm wondering
if I can improve it at all.   I have this script in a folder, and the
plugin in a subfolder  gimpplugin/



FILENAME="$1"
if [ ! -f "$FILENAME" ]; then
        echo File not found - you must pass the psd file to be converted
with gimp
        exit 1
fi
BASE="${FILENAME%.*}"
mkdir "$BASE"
DIR_OF_THIS_SCRIPT="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
echo "(plug-in-path
\"\${gimp_dir}/plug-ins:\${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins:$DIR_OF_THIS_SCRIPT/gimpplugin\")"
> gimprc

gimp -i -g gimprc -b "
(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"$FILENAME\"
\"$FILENAME\")))
       (drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))
       (python-fu-myplugin RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable)
       (gimp-image-delete image))"  -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

rm gimprc
echo $BASE done
