Re: [Gimp-user] how to exposing more tiff load options for scripting

[Daniel Smith <opened to gmail com>]

I don't exactly get what you mean by 200 page tiffs?
You mean one continuous image that takes 200 pages worth of sub-images?
But anyways, are you using the batch mode? I've never done it but I
understand there
are a lot of options there from non-interactive command line mode?
