• Make that new layer "RING" invisible, copy/merge it to the other layers (ofn-interleave-layers)
  

When i open Ofnuts xcf file, this last step where it says "Make that new layer invisible". 
I made ring layer invisible, then ran the 'ofn-interleave-layers'. It created a new image file. That exported all the visible layers to the other page, except the grey ring layer that has the 20px circle. 
I tried exporting it to gif, all i get is the tick marker animating without the grey background.

Then, I tried making the RING layer visible, and ran the 'ofn-interleave-layers', I get the tick marker animating without the grey background, and the last frame is the grey background by itself.

I think i am missing is the copy/merge to the other layers. I am not sure what he meant by that. Does he meant I have to duplicate the grey ring layers 12 times (since I have 12 blue markets), and then merge each of these marker with the grey ring?

Thanks for patience everyone.

In single-layer modes, Interleave-layer takes a layer (from anywhere, the current image or another), and copy/merges it with the visible layers of the current image.

• If the layer is from another image (not your case) it can be visible or not in its carrier image
  
• If the layer is from the same image, it must be not visible, otherwise in the output there will be a frame with that layer merged over itself  (which is what you found out when you made the ring layer visible).
  

It you don't get the ring layer in the output, it is possible that you didn't specify the ring layer as the layer to merge (Layer: parameter in the dialog). Otherwise please attach your XCF here.

Ofnuts, I am using your Spinner.xcf actually. 
And, i got it at last. I guess the merge is during the interleave-layer option --> Interleave single layer under stack (sprite). That's where i get to specify the layer to merge to.

• Direction to create the marks in clockwise ot counter-clockwise order
  
• Generated path(s) to make it generate a single path or a path for each mark.
  

At the usual place. Enjoy.

Great!

My thoughts on some procedures as a demo video https://youtu.be/9uBDgWuWV0I  long one for me 7 minutes but it is start to finish with some hints. A set of png's 000.png to 359.png as one of those previous requests.

Now off for some belated Christmas shopping because the damn Metro has been on strike

Great video! Pardon for my slowness in picking up. 
Both your method and ofNuts method is great as well. I am going to try out both to learn.
My last 2019 resolution before the New Year !!!
Merry Xmas!
