Hey guys,

I'm still pretty fresh in terms of knowlege with GIMP and I have what I think is an interesting dilemma... I am creating an image of a numbered grid. Unfortunately GIMP doesn't let you make tables or spead sheets, at least not to my knowledge, so I am stuck with the daunting task of creating it manually. Meaning I've created the grid with a guid to path script, applying stroke to path, and now I have to individually fill in each cell with a number. Given there are 33 rows with 6 cells each, the amount of layers is a nightmare. So I've created a layer system where each row is its own layer. I then merge down, one at a time, all text layers within each cell into the corresponding row layer. This allows me to minimize the work if I have to change some numbers in the row. My problem is that I haven't fighured out if there is a way to select merge down for multiple layers at once, and it's an unecessarily time consuming process... Is there a native way to do this faster without merging everything visible? If not, can a script be created to do so?

For example, the script could exist in the right click menu just below "Merge Down" and could be titled "Merge Down To...". Once clicked it could await mouse click on the desired end layer in the list (as long as it is sequentially somewhere below the original). Once clicked the script would essentially automatically merge down each layer one by one untill it reaches the end layer that has been selected. I don't know how to write python scripts, myself, nor do I have the time right now to learn, unfortunately... Is this possible for someone to do?

Thanks in advance!

I also have a script to split a layer in regular tiles, and combine them back: ofn-layer-tiles: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to ... s/scripts/
