run-script-fu

Execute an arbitrary Script-Fu expression (or a .scm file) against the user's GIMP install in headless mode, using the binary path stored by onboard. Use when the user asks to run a Script-Fu snippet, debug a script, or test PDB calls.

Run Script-Fu

Inputs

expression (string) OR script_path (path to a .scm file) — exactly one.

args (optional list of strings) — passed to the script via positional placeholders the caller substitutes before exec.

Steps

Read gimp_console_bin from the saved profile. If absent, run onboard first.

If expression was supplied, invoke:

"$BIN" -i -b "$EXPR" -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

For Flatpak, prefix with flatpak run --command=gimp-console org.gimp.GIMP.

If script_path was supplied, invoke:

"$BIN" -i -b "(load \"$SCRIPT_PATH\")" -b '(gimp-quit 0)'

Capture stdout + stderr. Surface PDB errors (Error: ...) to the user — Script-Fu still exits 0 on procedure errors, so don't rely on exit code alone.

Notes

Always append -b '(gimp-quit 0)' — without it the process hangs.

Quote expressions carefully: Script-Fu uses (, ), " heavily and shell escaping bites.

For multi-line scripts, write to a temp file under $DATA_ROOT/cache/ and use the script_path path.
