Is it possible to convert an image, or batch of images, to a .xcf or .psd file? Using ImageMagick's convert tool didn't work, but so far my attempts to look at doing this using gimp from the command line have been unsuccessful.
An answer can now be found here. Put the following code into a script.
gimp -n -i -b - <<eof (let*="" (="" (file's="" (cadr="" (file-glob="" "*.png"="" 1)))="" (filename="" "")="" (image="" 0)="" (layer="" )="" (while="" (pair?="" file's)="" (set!="" image="" (car="" (gimp-file-load="" run-noninteractive="" file's))))="" layer="" (gimp-image-merge-visible-layers="" clip-to-image)))="" filename="" (string-append="" (substring="" 0="" (-="" (string-length="" file's))="" 4))="" ".xcf"))="" (gimp-file-save="" filename)="" (gimp-image-delete="" image)="" file's="" (cdr="" (gimp-quit="" eof<="" pre="">
enter code hereIt's a script that batch converts to any file format that gimp can read. Just substitute ".xcf" on line 2 and ".png" on line 6 for whatever file formats you need
