Try replacing the single quote marks ' with double quotes " and also escaping the escaping the existing double quotes inside the single quotes:

"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" -i -b "(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE \"z:\test\26cf5abe-eaa1-4ddd-af04-3d9e59804ed2.png\" ...

I'm not sure if you will also have to escape the backslashes in file name paths as well: \"z:\\test\\26cf5abe-eaa1-4ddd-af04-3d9e59804ed2.png\"

Subject: [Gimp-user] Gimp Java Batch not working

Hi there,

I am new to Gimp and first I want to thank the Gimp community for such a great application.

But here is my problem. I try to process images from within a Java application. When I run the assembled batch command the gimp console writes that the execution was successfull.

But actually nothing happens. Here is my Java code:

The resulting command line is:

"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" -i -b '(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE
"z:\test\26cf5abe-eaa1-4ddd-af04-3d9e59804ed2.png" "z:\test\26cf5abe-eaa1-4ddd-af04-3d9e59804ed2.png")))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image))))(plug-in-sobel RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable 1 1 1)(gimp-file-save RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable "z:\test\test.png" "z:\test\test.png")(gimp-image-delete image))' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

Executing this directly from command line does not fix the problem. Anyone a clue what I make wrong? Thank you in advance...

Kind regards, Andreas

The Scheme code looks correct, AFAICT. If in doubt, paste the code in to the Script-Fu console and see if it works as expected or if it spits out error messages.

If you run that code from a Windows command line you have to be aware of whether the \ characters are being seen as \ or if they are being used to escape the following character.

Cheers!

Kevin.

You should really use the |*ProcessBuilder *(List
> command)
contructor, that will give you more control on the parameters and let you avoid a lot of quoting and escaping. And instead of calling Gimp, make it call a small script/program that dumps its parameters to stdout. As far as I can tell you are using the Unix shell syntax (leading single quote) while the file names indicate you are on Windows...

You will also save you a lot of grief by making all your scheme code a small script. Once that works you can try to pack the whole script back in a parameter.

If you call gimp with -c you will get messages printed to the console (ie, stdout) instead of being displayed by the graphical UI
