tripping over my own shoe-laces just trying to get some frames of an animation done

[galen]

using this "export all layers at once" plugin: Home | Export Layers (kamilburda.github.io)

i made 12 duplicates of the same layer and then moved then all into position to make animation frames. but the plugin just exports them all as the original frame from which the other 11 were duplicated, so i just get 12 copies of the same exact frame which is absolutely awesome. yes, of course i've read the dOcuMEntaTIoN.

I did not check, but I think the problem is that it export the size of the layer, not the visible size on the canvas  ➤ before exporting, and after moving the layers, did you right click on each moved layer in the layer stack and selected Layer to image size?

You might want to tell the developer about it, ask it as an option, because the developer might not want that its script change layer sizes without user knowing it (and it might bother other users to see their layer ➤ image changing size), an option layer to image size before exporting could solve things.

Put a link to this thread if you ask the developer

anyone who comes in future: use the plugin called "ofn-layers-to-image-size.zip" found on this webpage

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/

to resize all the layers at once to the size of the image, then they'll all export looking as you'd expect them to. instructions inside the ZIP folder on how to "invoke" the plugin-command.
