This is my ultimate goal, 420 times
I have run out of "easy" ideas for Gimp. (needs an expert )
A little modified plugin attached, duplicate-shift.py (zipped, unzip and put in your User plug-ins folder)
It registers in the Tools menu as dupshift
Apply it and it makes a duplicate layer.
Then offsets from the left by a pixel, the same as Layer -> Transform -> Offset
It keeps transparency and the canvas size.
420 layers ??? You will need to repeat the plugin another 419 time ctrl-F repeats the last used. Just keep tapping away, might take 10 minutes. I did the attached .xcf.gz while watching the TV.
Snags: Since it is an offset you truncate the right side and lose that little end bevel.
