Quote:What is the difference between file-tiff-save in scripts and the export command that the UI uses?
I do not know, maybe Ofnuts or Kevin can answer that one.
Quote:.. I want to do it with a script, because I have hundreds of files that all require the same actions.
Ok. I can reproduce the problem using the batch plugin BIMP. Tiff files exported with layers do not convert because they do not load. The same error message that you get Calling error for procedure 'gimp-file-load': Procedure 'file-tiff-load' returned no return values Just end up with zero size files.
Quote:And it seems that other automated processes that follow afterwards fail as well,
The tiff does not load so does not process.
--not Gimp --
Using ImageMagick mogrify I can get this warning from a Gimp multi-layer tiff
Depreciated and troublesome old-style JPEG compression mode, please convert to new-style JPEG compression and notify vendor of writing software. `OJPEGSetupDecode' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/949
That is the same for all gimp methods of tiff compression, must be the layers.
However it will process those problem multi-layer tiffs - flatten and convert a whole folder of tiff's Maybe that as a last resort.
