Hi all!

Many times I have to set the visibility of a group of layers, for example to test the results from a combination of them against another combination of layers.

Is there some plugin that allows to set some groups of layers and then change their visibility at once?

Hi -
I do have a plug-in that allows you to name layer groups and then link/unlink then at once.

Changing it to toggle visibility should be trivial.

I am really in a hush now to trim the plug-ins now for uploading then anywhere, or changing/testing then to work with visibility instead of linking.

I will just attach then in another e-mail (since this list should not allow attachments). They are python plug-ins, so you will need gimp-python working.

Just use the XTns->Procedure browser to see the functions used to link and set layer visibility to make the changes that will suit you.

(there are two scripts, one ask for a name, and attribute that to the current set of linked layers. The other one just asks for a name, and restores the saved linking state)

js ->

Thanks
Pere.

Hi again,

I actually updated the plug-in, as working with visibility would be nice as wella s working with the linked states.

As it is new, it adds a "Group" submenu to the Layer menu.

Please, download it from: http://www.gimpstuff.org/content/show.php?content=83137

It laks preview, but does the basic and most important thing.

No, it don't lacks preview, it laks agility.

Here is a diff to your script that adds a controller dialog. http://fornol.no-ip.org/linux/gimp/diffto_layer_groups.py

The dialog shows the groups you have made to an image and allows to change between them.
The dialog don't close until you close it, and the results are shown as soon as you click on the names of the groups. Please, feel free to adopt or reject the patch and enhance it.

Hope this helps, at least it works for me :) Thanks

Hi Pere!

Yhankyou for your patch - very itnersting indeed - and actually make the plug-in jump from a workaround hack to something usable.

I am adapting your patch to use a gtk_tree_view, imitating gimp's layers dialog. However if I take too long before publishing, (like later than wednesday), poke me again so I publish the script with your patch as is.
