[Gimp-docs] GIMP Automation information/documentation

[Mikael Jörgenstam <edu 10e12 net>]

Attempting to find information about the following, and not finding 
suitable information in the current manual / docs.
This is my last resort.

I am highly dependent on automation and am looking for a viable 
alternative to Adobes product lines.
The automation features I need in a product are image scaling, cropping, 
resizing output or saved images
resolution modification and such, often on several hundred of images at 
a time.
Every run is different and previously I have tried Photoshop with Automate.

Is there any means by which GIMP would be able to serve as a substitute, 
preferably without having to
learn a whole new set of coding syntax to enable some specific editing 
each time I need to do a batch run?

I did read the Automation and macro information on the website but it 
does not appear to support recording macros?
Am I correct in this or is there more information which yet have to make 
it's way into the manuals/docs?
