Export Sublayers for Gimp 2.8

based on, I added export for sublayers in gimp 2.8. I'm not a python programmer, so I'm happy when someone would code a more clean version, but it works anyway..

WebP Import / Export



Fit all layers to image size

Not sure if a script like this exists.
It may be useful in some cases.


Install script in your scripts directory
(you can see the scripts directory by going to
Edit -> Preferences
and then once the preferences windows opens,
go to Folders -> Scripts)

How to test:
* Create a new image (say: 800x600px)
* Create another, but smaller image (say 100x100px)
* Copy the small image (Ctrl+C)
* Duplicate this new layer a couple of times

Save layers names

Save layers names into a file called 'gimp-layers' in the chosen directory.

Flexible layers handling

These two scripts help you with some basic operations on images with a lot of layers (some hundreds or so), for instance when you work on animations (one frame consists of several layers, which belong together). You can set linking and visibility status, opacitymode, and (or) process opacity fadings, which all can be done repeatedly for subgroups or for independant single layers (by stepping throughout the whole layerstack or by a definable cyclelength).

Active Path Stroke

Strokes the current active path with the currently selected brush.

How to test:
* Create a new image.
* Draw with the path tool
* Go to Filters -> Vanca -> ActivePathStrokeDelete

It is recommended that you set a shortcut to this script.

-- NOTES and Limitations --

* The script can not scale the brush
allow scripts to access the brush scaling)

* The path is deleted afterwards
