Export Layers as PNG

September 3, 2009 - 02:15 — cr33dog

File->Export Layers->

Prompts for a folder to save PNG files. Pretty straightforward.

Tested in 2.6.1 on linux and 2.6.6 on XP.

works as advertised

This works perfectly in GIMP 2.6.7 on Ubuntu 9.10. Just drag to your plug-ins folder (probably ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/) and then at the command line run chmod +x ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/*.py and restart GIMP.

Not working on 2.6.7

I've tried using this in Gimp 2.6.7. and no options come up. There's not even a menu entry

i guess you use windows

..and that you do not have the gimp python module installed

and install it may be a bit complex see

if you want to save layers

if you want to save layers with alpha channel you only need to comment tmp.flatten(). The code looks like: for layer in dupe.layers: layer.visible = 1 name = layer.name + ".png" fullpath = os.path.join(path, name); tmp = dupe.duplicate() #tmp.flatten() pdb.file_png_save(tmp, tmp.layers[0], fullpath, name, 0, 9, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) dupe.remove_layer(layer) Thanks for the script

nice

I should add that as an option perhaps - to flatten or not.

in windows may be a problem

in windows may be a problem mostly how to chose/wrote the path As use / instead then \ ..or viceversa and blank spaces in the path names, quite commune in Windows( As example C/Documents and Settings/ ) would be supported ?

no problem

Nah - I just tested in XP and it's OK. Both windows and linux have a funkiness though: you have to show the location bar in the file chooser. When you are in the directory to export to, enter a period (.) in the location bar and *then* click open or press enter. But \ or / does not matter, nor do spaces in the path.

fixed the quirk

the script now prompts for a dir, so you don't have to put the "." in there... I used PF_FILE initially, but PF_DIRNAME is correct.
