Converting from XCF to PNG from the CLI -- is it possible? (overflow.manganiello.tech)

The linked thread shows a couple bash scripts for using Gimp to export to another file format. Both scripts are broken for me. Perhaps they worked 14 years ago but not today.

Anyone got something that works?

AFAIK, ImageMagic has an input module for XCF. That would be perfectly suited for command line application.

Is that a separate installation? Imagemagick was my first attempt. It did not recognize XCF.

According to the manual this should be possible.

That looks like a separate program, which Debian does not have. Apparently something added to Ubuntu that was not inherited from Debian.
