Pro tip while executing Inter leave layers plugin:
Have only the xcf files open that require interleave plugin execution . Close all remaining files on current GIMP session when executing interleave layer plugin
For some reason, The plugin includes all the files open to its execution .
Will impact performance and will take longer to execute . The more files open, the longer the execution .
Close any file that is open before executing Interleave layers plugin

Strange...
Starting with:
a source image (the one from which you call the script), 4 layers of red
a provider image (the one you specify as providing the interleaved layers), 4 layers of blue
an innocent bystander image, 4 layers of green
And asking to interleave the blue image in the red image with 50% opacity, I get an image with 4 purple layers, and not a hint of green, and the green image is unmodified.
So can you describe more in detail what you are doing and what the result is?

Its more of a performance issue than functional issue .
If i have 3 files open and want to execute interleave layer plugin only on 3rd file with animation frames in title mode , The other 2 files get included in the loop of execution which causes a performance overhead .
Takes longer for the pop up window to even appear .
OMG The forum is hanging .
I jus wanna attach screenshot 2.
As seen in screenshot 2 , The other unwanted file is included in the loop.

Ah, that is different, the layers of the other images are not included in the created files, but are offered as a choice by the startup dialog, which is expected since you can use any layer from any open image as a title (along as it has the right size). So yes, if you have many images with many, many frames open, this will take time, and create a rather long list... I plead not guilty
PS: a screenshot is better uploaded as a PNG. Somewhat smaller (692K vs 1.1M).
Paths and layers are different animals. 'ofn-interleave-layers' creates a new image with the results and it doesn't copy a lot of things (paths, selection, channels... ).
To solve your problem take it the other way:
1) Save the image created by 'ofn-interleave-layers'
2) Go back tot the source image with your paths
3) (possibly) remove existing layers, but keep the paths
4) File>Open as layers and point to the image saved in step2
This should give you your paths (and other stuff) and the interleaved layers.
Although I still have to rename all layers (delete part of the name only); removing the 'copy ' suffix that the plugin creates automatically, with this solution I can save a lot of time.
