Hi Just,
I remember the DBP plugin for Gimp (http://members.ozemail.com.au/hodsond/dbp.html) was relatively easy to install on many Linux distro's, even Solus, but yesterday spend over 4 hours without success. Today found this post so was happy, but still no success.
The first two options you suggest 'user level' I can't seem to find (user name is 'z'), or, when I do see my user name appear at the top, I click on it and it goes into the Home folder (Dowloads, Pictures, Videos, etc.) and there is no 'gimp' folder there.
I also tried both the second two options:
- I don't have a 'plugins' folder in that location
- I do have a 'scripts' folder in that location, however, when I try to unpack 'dbpSrc-1-1-9.tgz' to that folder, permissions deny me from doing this.
In my attempts yesterday, I tried using the terminal many ways (even as root user), but either the folders are not visible or I am denied permission. In the link above from the David's Batch Processor page it states:
"There is no configure file, use make install to build and install in your local gimp plugins directory. You will need g++ and the gimp development packages for the appropriate Gimp version - if you can compile C++ and can build any other Gimp plugin, you should have no problems. The Makefiles are very primitive and can be edited directly if needed."
Of course, all this is well beyond my abilities (I am not a programmer).
Bulk resizing is necessary 'core' functionality (why Gimp doesn't bundle it directly is beyond me) - if this is not possible (or will take too much explanation for my limited skills), can you suggest another program (maybe already in the Software Center) that can do bulk resizing?
Thanks,
Mike
