In order to change the "gimp-comment" you must change a parasite that is attached to the image. The following code defines a function that will set the 'gimp-comment' parasite to the passed string. (Note: I don't have access to the GIMP right now, so I haven't tested it; though I think it will work.)
Include the function definition in your file (I recommend inserting it right after the '(define (batch-test pattern)' line) and replace your (set! gimp-comment "Some Test Text") with (add-comment image "Some Test Text") ;;---------------------------------------------------------- ;; 'add-comment' attaches "gimp-comment" parasite to 'image' ;; with the value of the passed 'string' ;; (define (add-comment image string) (*catch 'errobj (gimp-image-parasite-find image "gimp-comment") (if (not (null? errobj)) (gimp-image-parasite-detach image "gimp-comment") ) ) (gimp-image-parasite-attach (list "gimp-comment" 3 (bytes-append string))) ) ----------------------------------- Quoting David Woodfall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > I'm trying to write a batch scm to insert a comment into a tiff.
