I start to read your post, and reaching something like 2/3 of it, I told myself "This guy/gal looks like s/he knows what s/he is speaking about, with all example the s/he gave, what's her/his problem?"
Well one reason I went into details is to get some feedback - is there anything else out there, how other people deal with this...? It was like, if they don't use the measure tool in combination with calculator on their phone, what do they use?
Another was to convince myself that I'm not missing anything important. And that is the hard part,
GIMP's UI is pretty complex, not always the most intuitive (well *of course* layer name in bold means there is no alpha channel
and on top of that - AFAIK, there is no single repository of useful scripts, so lots of useful stuff is probably scattered around. So when I saw Ofnuts repository, I thought somebody with more experience must have already thought of this "divide selection with guides" problem.
Especially when I realized it wasn't really that hard to write (after initial hurdle) - at least this basic version.
So, I don't know - maybe I missed it, maybe there are other more effective solutions out there, maybe even in the GIMP itself, but I couldn't really find anything.
Don't expect too much, it's quite basic really. But I think it could be useful.
