First of all, a big thank you to the developers for an great image editing program.
I am writing a python-gimp export script for an animation tool, using Ubuntu 10.10 "maverick" with Gimp version 2.7.3 from this ubuntu PPA, which is not a nightly build of your devel tree, but close enough: https://launchpad.net/~matthaeus123/+archive/mrw-gimp-svn The workflow expects a gimp document's layers to be exported as a tree of files, where the directory structure is determined by the document's layer groups. So, if group "panel_1" has sublayers "foo" and "bar", and group "panel_2" has sublayers "blargh" and "foobar", the expected output looks like this: $ tree exported_layers exported_layers |-- panel_1 | |-- bar.png | `-- foo.png `-- panel_2 |-- blargh.png `-- foobar.png How can one get the layer objects that correspond to a given group? It's easy to get layer IDs, it's not clear how to access the layer object even if one knows its ID. The gimp.image.layers sequence only contains the first-level layers and layer groups, not all the layers. In our document, all layers belong to a group, so that sequence only contains layer groups. When getting the children of a given group, "pdb.gimp_item_get_children(group)[1]" returns a tuple of IDs. Having only each layer's ID and not the layer object means one can't, for instance, make a new layer as a duplicate of an existing one. This code fails with a type error: newlayer = pdb.gimp_layer_new_from_drawable(layerID, image) Is there something I'm missing/doing wrong, or is this a gap in the available script-fu methods? Thanks, Javier Candeira. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
