[Gimp-developer] Feature Request: Layers from Image ( "Linked Layers" )

[Rob Antonishen]

OK-

Here is a file containing three scripts that all end up under the Layer menus.

Load a new File Linked Layer (loads up an image as a layer and sets
the layer name to "@FL@<full file path>".)
Reload All File Linked Layers (looks though all the layers for ones
where the name starts with the "@FL@" flag and reloads them.)
Reload File Linked Layer (reloads the active layer if it has the @FL@ flag.)

http://ffaat.pointclark.net/incoming/scripts/file_linked_layers.scm

Right now it doesn't transfer layer masks, blend modes, or opacity to
the newly loaded layers, but that could be added if necessary.

Hope that does what you want!
