gimp script that does not work within shell script - MVE - 10-08-2022
Hi folks!
I have a silly problem with gimp and linux bash.
I have a very simple gimp script that work well when called from a interactive shell.
I have a shell script that call the gimp script, so I have not typing all the gimp invocation.
The shell script call the gimp script: but gimp never exit and does not create files.
The same problem when I used "source" to execute the bash script directly in the interactive shell.
Have anyone a similar problem??
I send attached the two scripts and the output of the two forms of calling the gimp script, directly or with the bash script.
There are two differences: the message "batch command executed successfully" is show one or two times, and in the first case all work well and newfiles are generated, in the second I have to interrupt gimp (Ctrl-C) and no file is generated.
Any insight?
Thanks!

I attach again forum.txt, because the first version is incomplete...[attachment=8815]
Bug fixed!
Using de shell invocation into a makefile, I realized that I had a lot of quotes...
In short:
* from the command line:
$ gimp --as-new -dfs -i -b '(img2img "ATSP-A0min.png" "prueba.eps")' -b '(gimp-quit 1)'
* from a Makefile:
%.eps: %.png
gimp --as-new -dfs -i -b '(img2img "$<" "$@")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
* from a shell script:
gimp --as-new -dfs -i -b '(img2img "'$1'" "'$2'")' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
So this issue has to do with bash, not with gimp...
That's all, folks!
