I suspect it would be possible to edit the script to change that behavior. If you are uisng the aniamtion plug-in (gimp-gap) it should be able to split you multi-layered images into multiple images and save then authomatically. Other than that, it wuld be a reqally simple python-script. If you can't find it, let me know. js -- scott s. . ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Saving individual layers
On the other hand, its sort of useful, because you can define what file type you want the layer to be, png, jpg, gif, etc, simply by adding it to the layer name. Technically, one is supposed to always name layers. On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 5:31 PM, scott s.

You could make each layer the only visible layer then save the file out and only one layer will be saved out to a file. On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 2:37 PM, scott s.
