i have some python scripts and pieces of python scripts that do this.

http://carol.gimp.org/gimp2/resources/python/comment.html is a script piece that saves jpegs. if you use this, i would (in addition) flatten the image (gimp_image_flatten or pdb.gimp_image_flatten(image) for a python script).

the script portion is actually used in these two gallery scripts: http://carol.gimp.org/gimp2/web/python/gallery-simple.py http://carol.gimp.org/gimp2/web/python/gallery-blurbed.py

i dont know how to do this from the command line. it should be similar though.

you can find what the gimp can do in a script from Xtns -->Procedure Browser. or if you are using script-fu or python, there are script consoles.

have fun with TheGIMP, it is cool.

gimp -i -b "(let* ((image (car (gimp-file-load 1 "foo.xcf" "")))) (gimp-file-save 1 image (car (gimp-image-merge-visible-layers image 0)) "foo.jpg" "") (gimp-quit 0))"
