Placement plug-in

[trandoductin]

When I have many layers and I want to put the layers in some sort of grid lay out.
Run plug-in enter grid size (x tiles by y tiles) and spacing in pixels and it'll distribute layers by the number of tiles specified with the specified spacing.

I use a python plugin called sprite tape (did search of plugin and it's from Pheodor Tsapanas a.k.a. FedeX) to do this, Tran. Still, never bad to have multiple ways of doing such tasks.

This version adds a toggle to allow shuffling of order (in my case I was composing a collection of 100 photos of Dandelions) and I wanted to shuffle them before putting them into 10 x 10 grid.

Ah; ok.
