I have Kubuntu 12.04.01 with GIMP 2.06. On a previous installation I used
DBP . I found it worked well on resizing images, and want to re-install it. Although I managed before, I cannot now remember how, though there must have been an easy way to do it! Can anyone help, please?

Perhaps for you will be actual more to use new versions instead dbp-1.1.5.
Guide by Dave Duncan.
Download the tgz file to your desktop from DBP archive
Open a
terminal, and run the following:
sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev gcc cpp g++
You may be prompted for a Yes/No answer here (confirming the use of
hard drive space). Just type ‘y’ and hit enter. Then, enter the
following:
cd /usr/src/
In the next command, substitute “[username]” with your username.
Then continue, entering the following commands in turn each time you
get a fresh command prompt.
sudo tar -xvzf /home/[username]/Desktop/dbpSrc-1-1-5.tgz
cd dbp-1.1.5
Then build, and install package:
sudo make
make install
Once all that is done, open up GIMP and go to (UPDATE Jan.2012):
Filters >> Batch Process
From the dropdown, select Batch Process and the world is your oyster!
Let me know if this works well for you.
Enjoy!
