Hi,
I often work through a list of many images in two or three versions that I want to combine. I know I can use Gimp's menu to open images as layers, but I would like to do this from my file manager (here on Linux, dolphin): select the images -> open with -> Gimp as layers
Is this somehow possible to add to the context menu of dolphin? If so, how?
(
To explain:
I have a large list with fileA.png, fileA-v1.png, fileA-v2.png, fileB.png, fileB-v1.png ...
I have this list open in dolphin.
Right now I select e.g. the 3 fileA versions, open with -> Gimp, have 3 windows, copy ...v1 and ...v2 as layers to the original, close v1 and v2, do the work in the now layered image, save that, delete v1 and v2 in dolphin... open the next set...
I do this from dolphin because the files stay selected, I can delete the versions I don't need anymore directly and thus keep track of which images still have to be worked, without the need to remember the last file name. While in Gimp's dialog I cannot delete files, must remember which files come next, and must scroll down in the list to select them.
So it would be nice if I somehow could have a possibility to open dolphin-selected files directly as layers. It would save me the steps of copying and closing windows.

Thanks for hints!
