• choose between JPG and PNG (compression predefined at ~90%).
• choose directory
• Save export: Does not override files with same name, but adds an postfix counter.

• To use the plug-in, move it to the gimp-plug-in folder.
• To find out that folder, look into gimps properties (folders --> Plugins)
• Usually there are two paths by default:
  • /home/MY-USERNAME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins
  • /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
• First path, in the home-directory, is for this specific user only (I chose that, for it is easier to handle file-permissions on ubuntu).
• Second path is for global usage

• New plug-ins do not load while gimp is running --> restart gimp
• Before gimp can load python-plug-ins, the permission has to be set to "executable"
  • For the KDE-desktop simply right-click the file --> permissions --> check "executable"
  • For gnome-desktop and windows it should be similar.
  • With terminal:

chmod 755 /path/to/file/export-all-layers-rl.py

4+2+1  4+0+1  4+0+1  = 755

• further information to chmod here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

• In the gimp menu should appear an entry at the bottom of "file / export all layers"

• Give your layers the names, that should be the filename.

  If a layer name ends with either ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".bmp", ".gif", ".tif", ".tiff", ".psd", the file extension for the target file will be replaced with chosen filetype.

  (For example: You load a bunch of .jpg-files into gimp and the file extension is within the layer name - that would not result in naming the file "picture.jpg.png")

• select the new function --> a plug-in window pops up --> choose directory and filetype

Don't be afraid to ask a question, if something is not working.

If you like it, you might just tell me. This will sure motivate me in my future work :)
