I have been trying to absorb Linux technical mishaps with everything else and decided I should maybe just walk away from the computer for a while. IGLO is the exact script I was thinking of, it still looks the same and works quite well. It's still a little moody and can take some non-intuitive tweaking to get exactly the layout you want but does the job. I will also try the Montage grid angle (is there anything GMIC can't do?). And programmer_ceds, thank you for even more options to do this, I now have 3 tools to hack about with.

You might also be remembering the contactsheet Python script. Download contactsheet-v2.16.py from http://registry.gimp.org/node/120. I have just tried the copy I downloaded some years ago and it now fails but it can be made to work with two simple edits. In the lines that start (PF_DIRNAME change the final parameter from an empty string to "/tmp". This specifies a default directory (which doesn't even have to exist) and prevents the script failing (thanks to this page for the solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40821245/python-fu-fails-on-directory-selection-pf-dirname) To start with I thought that the file names weren't being printed but then noticed that both foreground and background colours were set to white! The script appears as Filters/Batch/Contact Sheet V2.15 (even though it is V2.16) This works in V2.8.22 but in V2.9.6 it fails to recognize WHITE_FILL in the line bklayer.fill(WHITE_FILL) - to fill the background of the contact sheet with the background colour change the line to read bklayer.fill(1). This edit also works in V2.8.22. Is there a defined constant or enum that will work in both versions? Also for some reason the script works MUCH faster in V2.8.22 than it does in V2.9.6 -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Just remembering some of the 'wrinkles'. As a linux user you should be ok, but the script downloads as a .tar (*T*ape*AR*chive) file. That unpacks straight to a .scm file but any Windows users reading this, might be baffled by the format. I remember some years back on another forum, users (claiming to) losing work with the script, Same as all work, save frequently, make backups. rich: www.gimp-forum.net -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Hello once again, I am back with another script question, although this one I know exists, because I used it frequently a few years ago. All that I remember is that the man who wrote it hosted it on his page and that his name was Czech (I think). I have looked high and low, but can't seem to find it. As I said in my last post, so graciously addressed by rich404, I am designing board games and mod projects again. In this case, I'm going to have many, many image templates open at once. I need to quickly save, scale and arrange them in identical dimensions on a single sheet, rather like a contact or proof sheet. I will likely be using the 'export layers to files' tool created by Khalim at https://github.com/khalim19/gimp-plugin-export-layers/ , which works quite well. I only wish I could relocate this old script, or something very much like it. Attached is an example of a sheet I made with it several years ago. I'll have a dozen images open, and they all have to be in the same place for various reasons. (editing, printing, storyboarding, etc.) Even if I have 30 open, I could make multiple sheets. It saved hours and hours of time! Anyone happen to remember this script or know something like it?
