Automation of saving files - Cjrearl84 - 08-20-2022
Hi,
I was wondering if there is some means within Gimp to automate the process of saving files?
For context, I create clipart type content, with multiple colour options etc. I sell digital versions of the files in multiple formats (jpg, xcf, png etc). For each artwork I create, I end up saving maybe 40-50 colour / format variants which is quite time consuming.
I was wondering if there was a way to automate the saving process through writing a script etc?
I've some very limited coding ability (having used VBA etc) so was hoping to find a way to speed up this time consuming process.
Thanks for your expertise!
Chris

Similar problem happening right now in this thread https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-How-to-automatically-rename-the-image-when-exporting-no-prompts
Worth to read and maybe some scripts to try for you

My ofn-export-layer-combinations script, perhaps?
For the format variants, IMHO you should save a good quality flat image (PNG...) and then use a shell script with ImageMagick convert to generate other formats/sizes from that.
