how to Export Layers as PNG in GIMP

For Exporting a Layered file (.xcf / .psd) as PNG in GIMP need a external script. This script can be download from the registry site of GIMP.

http://registry.gimp.org/node/18440


download file named
export_layers-0.3.py

NOTE: the registry added a .txt extension - you need to rename to file to just 'export_layers-0.3.py'.

Just drag file 'export_layers-0.3.py' to your plug-ins folder
probably [ ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/ ] in linux
Documents and Settings/Username/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins in Windows XP

and then at the command line run
chmod +x ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/*.py

restart GIMP.

open layer file .xcf or .psd
File > Export layer
