Re: [Gimp-user] SVG to PNG using a script

[Tres Finocchiaro <tres finocchiaro gmail com>]

I'm confused, I'm attempting to use the gimp command line, is it no longer
supported?  Why am I being told to use other tools still?

This is a specific attempt to use Gimp for a task.  No additional software
installed.  If Gimp ships with a usable version of python in a reliable
location, I'd be happy to leverage that, but the question is in regards to
a target system with only Gimp installed, assuming it doesn't have
Inkscape, ImageMagick Python or Perl.

I'm asking how to use the gimp command line only.
