I'm looking for a good tutorial describing how to make full use of the GIMP 2.4 from the command line, for repeated, semi-complex, pre-scripted macros.
I'm trying to create a BASH script to automatically generate animated fire. GIMP's man page says that there's another binary called gimp-console. Gimp-console's man page redirects to GIMP's man page. From gimp-console, you can use script-fu and python-fu stuff, and you can run stuff from the "scripts" directory in the /usr/share/gimp/2.0. However, it's not very specific about how. I looked at the "scripts," directory and none of them are the specific features I need to use. I also don't want to learn how to use *-fu if I can avoid it (although if I have to, I'd prefer python-fu.) My buddy Google didn't come through; I basically got pages and pages of a single result entitled, "Are you nuts?"
