Created plug-in for multi layer selection

Applications
1

Hi everyone

I created a plug-in to select multiple layers at once (tested with version 2.10.22), and perform actions such as:

Duplicate, delete, move up/down
Move layers with offset controls
Toggle visibility
Create groups, merge layers
Set opacity and blend mode
Scale and rotate layers
Copy and paste layer effects

You can download it at Github

I hope you enjoy it.

Cool, but everybody is moving to Gimp V3, and in V3 you have multiple layer selection natively.

Also, after a quick glance at your code:

  • scale+rotate can be done by chain-linking the layers (and this applies to other transforms, including move)
  • why are you only supporting some blend modes, and mostly legacy blend modes except add/subtract?
  • why are NoHalo/LoHalo not supported interpolations (OTOH I don’t see your code using the value anywhere, so it probably runs with the user’s favorite interpolation anyway)

Well, fact is I am slow :wink:
Not being able to use v3 (old pc), I did it mostly for the stuff I usually do for when I use Gimp, and I don’t use it everyday.

Glad to know it’s now available natively, so when I’ll upgrade It’ll be there.
