I want to execute gimp from the command line, but I just get "gimp: command not found" I haven't been able to figure out where the executable is. Can you help?

Depends on whether its an install
or a
'.app' install so also where you installed it to, where 'Applications Folder' or a folder of your choosing.

Where did you download it from ?

It's in the Applications folder GIIMP.app

You need to open your terminal and type this and it should open GIMP :



If you want the actual executable file.

Thanks, that opens the GUI, but I want to run the GIMP in batch mode from a program, to convert a bunch of Photoshop files to JPEG. For example, in linux, I can type gimp -i -b - and bring up the scheme console. I'm trying to do the same thing on my Mac, just as a test. If I type open GIMP.app --args -i -b - the GIMP icon starts bouncing in the launch bar , but nothing ever happens.

This should do what you are asking, you do need to put your script into the script folder :



Then run in the terminal:



If you are using Simone Karin Lehmann bulid - Mac OS X 10.9.x Mavericks & Yosemite - 2.8.14 version this has batch mode inside the main program.

Thanks, I know about that, but it won't work for me. My client has about one million images to convert, so we're trying to avoid pointing and clicking.
