GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Basic Level



Hi,

I have about 100 designs, all the same size and width. I want to make larger designs combinations (Approx 200) from these files.
e.g: Individual files = x, c, t, u,l,j
then I want to make one file with: "xct", and another with "tuxj", etc.

I know how to do this manually but it will take quite a while to do that for 200 odd combinations, as such i was wondering if there was a plugin or trick for GIMP to take selected pictures / layers and combine them into one long horizontal image.

Kind of like making a panorama but without the need for calculating distortion etc. - I will look into panorama software, but I'm thinking that may be a bit overkill for this situation, plus I am not sure if they will preserve the transparency, which is something I need in the final image.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

I can certainly see that would be possible to write a script for, but you need to specify the requirement in more detail.

Where do you anticipate the list of combinations coming from?

Pending details and the new script, you can try:

1. ofn-layer-tiles.py (instruction in a zip file in html version)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-t ... s/scripts/

2. GIMP FAnim Timeline.py

Yes, but ofn-tiles will work directly from the files (and can also cut/export back to tile files).
