is it possible that we are still in need of the "save-layers.py" bin-plugin?

Just make sure to save as a .py and not a .scm file. And if you are on linux, the command line, as if anybody on Linux wouldn't know:

$gimptool --install-bin save-layers.py

You can try to save the individual layers. Just copy the layer you desire and save it as a new layer.

I've been using the Microsoft Office scanning software. It has the capability of saving scans in
tiff format. There must be some
provision in tiff that allows multiple images (pages) to be saved in a single tiff format file.

Gimp 2.4 (Win XP) tiff reader understands this format, opens the file and asks if it should open each page as image or as layers. Opening as layers allows single operations to apply on all pages, making work easier. The problem is there doesn't seem to be any way to print without flattening (all you get is the top layer of course) or to save the result, keeping the layers, in some format that another program can read. What I would like is something that could convert layers to images at least.

Thanks. I was turned onto that script and after some digging around figured out how to get Python scripting into Gimp on the Win XP platform.
