mac osx scripting/batching for gimp


this is probably not the right place to ask but it
does seem related and maybe someone here could either
help or point me towards help? tried gimptalk forum
and gug forum.

i'm trying to do something here to that i know must be
really easy but i'm anything but a programmer so it's
driving me crazy. i'm working on a new macintel on 10.4.8.

what i want to do is automate the cropping and resizing of
images captured from a still camera. the images will always
be cropped in the same way and will always be resized to the
same size. i don't need dialog boxes or anything like that
to pop open. i just want to be able to invoke a script that
will apply the crop/resize value to these photos. every time
i try to search i get things from old versions of gimp or
that have a lot of arcane programming in them that i'm
unable to decypher. either that or the tutorial is so brief
that it's really just an encouragement for those who want to
get started programming for gimp. that's not me. i just
want this one thing and will probably use it for years
without ever writing another.

can someone help me out here by pointing me to how i can get
this done without having to become a programmer? aparrently
the batch plugin called dbp isn't easily available (if at all)
for osx. tried it on a windoze box too and it crashed.

any help is very much apreciated.

Hi

Maybe check out ImageMagick - http://imagemagick.org/

It's a set of commands to do image manipulation - it can do crop and resize, and it's a lot easier to script than using Gimp. The commands and options can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but the documentation is not that bad. The command you want to use for both crop and resize is "convert".
