Full Version: Automation of saving files

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...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.
