Group offset

This script basically does what Layer>Transform>Offset does, except it works on layer groups. All layers inside the group will be offset, including ones in nested groups - I used a recursive function so it doesn't matter how many levels of nesting there are.

Should be useful for texture making.


Group change font

This script changes the font and/or font size of all text layers within a layer group. Recursion optional.

---------------

All scripts install under "Group" top-level menu. I intend making more of these group tools in the future, which will all also install under "Group". If you don't like the creation of another top-level menu, feel free to modify the scripts for yourself.

Also taking requests - if there's anything you'd like to be able to do to a layer group, let me know and I can attempt to make it a reality (if it's not too difficult for me).

All scripts are released under GNU GPLv2.

Thanks dd i was wondering when you were going to write another plug-in.

Thanks. I made another one.

I see that.I have a request for a all layers to image size within a group.
I found one - http://registry.gimp.org/node/26310

By the way i have been placing them here...
"<Image>/Layer/Group/ because i have other Python and SCM filters that show there.

Example...




Thanks again.

You can already crop a layer group to image size in GIMP by simply selecting "layer to image size" on a group. In practice, the layers within the group are simply cropped to image size, but they won't be growed to the image size, so it works kind of weirdly.

How about a layers to existing group addition?
A lot of times i will be doing some work and realize a few of my layers could have gone into a certain group (not a new one), an existing one.

Hm, this is actually a bit more complex than it sounds, it would require some kind of interface for selecting the layers and the group, so probably can't be written as a simple gimpfu script... I might get to it at some point though, it would be useful to have.

Sweet.
Thanks.
