GIMP Version: 2.8.14 Operating System: Windows GIMP Experience: New User Hi I wish to setup GIMP to watch a folder and load files as layers in GIMP when picture arrives. What is the best way to do it automatically? I have tried the menu item “File -> Open As Layer” but it needs human interaction. I have also tried the batch mode but it can run once only. I can not open additional picture the 2nd time ... Thanks! |

You can write a plugin that runs in the background and periodically lists all the file in a directory and loads the new ones in the image it was started from. On Linux you don't even need to poll, there are services to notify you when a file is created in directories you specify. Maybe this kind of service is also available in Windows. |
