Watermarking in batches

Can anyone tell me the best GIMP way to apply a watermark to a batch of pictures? I have tried to use the migee.scm with the example script provided in the notes. After many attempts, all I get is another command screen with only an option to close.

I get no error messages, just what appears to be an abort of some kind.

I have a fresh GIMP install 2.8.14 on Windows 8.1

Any advice appreciated and I apologize if this is a topic which has already been hashed.

The best answer IMO is not to use the GIMP for this purpose.

ImageMagick does the deed:

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/annotating/#watermarking

Available for all major operating systems:

I would point you to the program called "composite" which is part of ImageMagic instead of using GIMP. I'm a Linux user so I can't say for certain if that is an option for you.

Cheers!

Another good option is a GIMP plugin called BIMP (Batch Image Manipulation Program). It has a built in watermark feature which should suffice for whatever you're using it for.
