So im complety new to making scripts and alot of the guides just go straight over my head so what im trying to do is make a script that will make a new layer from visble and be able to set layer modes what in dummy speak of course is the quickest way to do that and if theres a plugin that does it already Great! cause i havent been able to find it and that would also accomplish what im trying to do

I can do that, but i want a script to do it cause i use bimp to process my photos and i just want to add a multiply layer to 100+ photos along with a couple of other things

Oh okay...
The plot thickens. I'm not a scriptwriter and in your initial post these other processes were not mentioned.
However you may be able to do this using the G'MIC command line tool. Unfortunately I don't know much about how to use this tool either.
I would recommend Graechan, who is among one of our top scriptwriters we're lucky to have here on Gimp Chat.

In Python:


Just wrap that into some registration code and there you go.

@Terra:
Try this script:

Just copy to your user scripts folder and then refresh filters.
You should then find the procedure under Filters > Terra

Ty the help



now a second part came up i tried to use it with bimp and its not showing up in the list that BIMP has for other procedures anyway i can make it be useable by bimp? beyond that it does exactly what i need and ty for the actual making of it

@Terra
Unfortunately, the BIMP plugin deliberately ignores procedures with names ending in "-layer".
So I've changed the procedure name slightly, and you should find this version listed in BIMP like this:
