well, you want batch tool in command line : use imagemagick + bash... etc...

We talking about graphical interface for linux... do you know ? do you
know a mouse to move on the screen ?

It's time to learn modern computer science, especially for begineers,
who don't know scripting. This is the caseof Pro photographers, who
don't care about programming. These guys don't have more time for that
!

This is my goal : make GUI for non programmers... It's really more
interresting than to write something witch run in backgroung in a
console...

Also, are you take a look to Bibble pro software and the really nice
batch raw converter ?

yes. If you want to apply different settings, make more than one batch
tools pool. Start Batch Queue Manager, and go to take a coffee... All
will be done few minutes later (:=)))
