This is very likely the last release of Export Layers. For GIMP 2.99 and above (development versions of GIMP 3.0), you can use Batcher, a successor to this plug-in.

New features:

  • Added a Scale procedure that allows scaling layers, with the option to scale to a percentage of image/layer width/height.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed width and height of images exported using the "For each top-level layer or group" option.
  • Fixed a crash when removing a new action while the edit dialog is open.
  • Fixed procedure and constraint names not being truncated properly if the text does not fit the dialog width.
  • Fixed edit dialog for procedures and constraints stretching because of long names or descriptions.
  • Fixed tooltip for filename pattern entry not hiding properly.
  • Fixed a crash when clicking on the contents of a popup spawned when an in-line message is too long. The popup was replaced with a tooltip.

Release date: Aug 20, 2023

  • Fixed JSON serialization for procedures or constraints containing array arguments.
  • Fixed a crash when a PDB procedure is no longer available (which could happen if GIMP removed a procedure in a later version or a custom script/plug-in is not available in a different GIMP installation). A warning message will be displayed instead.

Release date: Feb 5, 2023

  • The "Rename" procedure can now optionally rename layer groups.
  • "Inherit transparency from layer groups" now uses the most recent layer opacity in case a custom procedure adjusting the opacity is applied before.
  • Fixed multiple constraints with arguments (e.g. Only layers without tags) where only one of them would be active at the same time even if all of them are enabled.

Release date: Oct 30, 2022

  • Added option to not apply a procedure for previews. This is useful for very slow procedures having little effect on the exported image if you want to keep the preview updated automatically, or procedures that e.g. manipulate the file system (such as export procedures) to avoid saving previewed images.
  • Moved the source code repository to a new location: https://github.com/kamilburda/gimp-export-layers
  • Moved the site to a new location: https://kamilburda.github.io/gimp-export-layers/

Release date: Oct 22, 2022

General changes:

  • Fixed a crash while finishing export when using back- or foreground layers.
  • Fixed export when using a custom procedure containing a Color argument.
  • Fixed export of layers with locks (position, alpha channel, etc.). All locks are now ignored during export.
  • When the "Ignore folder structure" procedure is added, the full layer path is maintained in the exported layer filenames.
  • Added an explicit "Rename layer" procedure, overriding the filename pattern for the text field next to "Save as:".
    This allows e.g. retaining the old behavior of "Ignore folder structure", or to chain a sequence of replacements via the new [replace] field (see below).
  • The file extension can now also be specified in uppercase.
  • The file extension text entry now automatically adjusts the text (removing extra leading '.', reverting to the last valid value) upon clicking outside the entry.
  • Renamed Use file extensions in layer names to Use file extension in layer name for clarity.
    Also added an option to convert file extensions in layer names to lowercase.
  • Added outer shadows to pop-ups for the filename pattern entry and the file extension entry for consistency and better visibility.
  • Removed the .exe installer for Windows.
  • Changed the plug-in license to BSD 3-Clause.

Changes to the filename pattern entry:

  • Added a new field named [replace].
    This field allows to fine-tune another field, optionally via regular expressions.
    This allows to e.g. remove " copy #1" from layer names that GIMP appends to duplicated layers.
  • The [layer path] field now strips the file extension by default just like [layer name].
    Added options (same as in [layer name]) to allow retaining the old behavior.
  • Added an option to the number field (such as [001]) to specify descending numbers.
  • Tooltip text can now be selected and copied.
