Save and automatically apply a series of editing steps
I'd like to be able to open an image file in GIMP (GIMP 2.9, not sure if the version makes a difference) and have a series of editing steps performed automatically.
I found the following tutorial: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Automate_Editing_in_GIMP/
That's a long, complicated tutorial (probably how people feel when they read some of the articles on my website :) ).
Is there a short "push these buttons" version of how to save and then automatically apply a series of editing steps?
Best, Elle

Unfortunately no, no short version of pushing buttons (yet).
Script-fu or Python are probably the best bet at the moment? At least
there's a script fu console and the pdb to reference while building out a
script...

That then begs the question: Have any of the changes in 2.9.2 been reflected in updates to the pdb calls for scripting? And if so, how are the fixed 0-255 ranges being handled?

Save and automatically apply a series of editing steps
I'd like to be able to open an image file in GIMP (GIMP 2.9, not sure if the version makes a difference) and have a series of editing steps performed automatically.
If I were asking this question just for myself, I'd probably assume that figuring out "how to" is too much trouble.
However, in addition to my own interest in being able to automate applying a series of editing steps, recently two other people have sent me emails asking the same question.
Both of these people are new to GIMP and using my patched version GIMP 2.9 from git. They both seem to like high bit depth GIMP quite a lot. And both of them are looking for ways to automate steps for faster throughput when there are a lot of images to edit all at once.
I'm in a total state of confusion as to what Pat's and Kevin's answers actually mean in practical "how to" terms, so my apologies but I'll try asking again:
Is it possible right now for users to automate a series of editing steps in high bit depth GIMP? If yes, is there a guide somewhere? Will the resulting images be high bit depth images or only 8-bit images?
Best regards, Elle

Yes it is possible to automate a sequence of steps, BUT it's a programmatic solution - you have to write scripts in Scheme, Python or maybe Perl.
At present (in 2.8.x) the support for scripts is firmly based around low bit-depth. I was asking if the API has been updated to incorporate the high-bit depth features (and all the GEGL operations), but perhaps that question (and the multitude of associated questions) would be better placed on the developers mailing list.

Kevin, thanks! I'll go ask on the developer's list.
