How to delete several channels? - Krikor - 01-08-2021
Is there any way to delete all channels at once? Or to delete the selected channels all at once?
I recently installed a plug-in and as an indirect result of its main function (Create luminosity Masks) it creates several channels in this process.
A created mask ends up producing about 6 channels.
If I apply the plug-in again to get another mask, or others, new channels are created in addition to the ones that already existed.
With three masks created I had 24 channels.
There was a moment when I already had 71 channels created, none of them being necessary, since in the process the masks are created in the layers windows.
I could not delete the channels at once. I don't know how or if it's possible to do that.
Thx.

Can't find a script for that, not to say there is not one.
A work-around to lose all those selection channels
Saul Goodes script http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repository/script-fu/wiki?name=sg-group-linked-layers
Group all the layers
Drag the layer group into tools for a new image
Un-group the layer group

There is no way to delete several channels in one action in 2.10.
You can do it only programmatically.
Open the python console menu Filters > Python-Fu > Console ; these 2 lines do the job (assuming you have only one image opened)
Code:
img = gimp.image_list()[0]
[img.remove_channel(c) for c in img.channels]RE: How to delete several channels? - SOLVED - Krikor - 01-08-2021
Rich2005, you are a genius!
I tried CTRL+D, but it doesn't work because the channels are also duplicated. You found a brilliant alternative!
Thanks a lot!

Initially I had 5 open images; nothing happened. I left only one open and voilà !

This command is extremely useful, I think that the Gimp should have this feature in a basic way, already embedded as an option in the official version.
Thanks a lot!

Multi-selection of items (layers, channels, vectors...) is a incoming feature in gimp 3.0

Code golfing:
Code:
map(image.remove_channel,image.channels)

Can I point out that there is no such problem with ofn-luminosity masks
