[Gimp-user] Batch Image Manipulation, it's time to implement it in GIMP

[mgwong <forums gimpusers com>]

I used batch mode (David's Batch Processor) from within Gimp 2.8 and below often
as I send large numbers of  photos to relatives to keep them updated on family
matters.  I have also used BIMP (and tried to recompile it for Gimp 2.10 under
Ubuntu 18.04, but so far can not get it to compile).

I miss having some sort of batch mode, inbuilt into gimp.  Writing scripts to
run from a terminal as has been suggested is too  difficult for an
unsophisticated user such as myself.  The way I use DBP or Bimp is
non-destructive as I write the files out with a different name.
