Guillotine into Layers
Short description:,
The Guillotine-into-Layers plug-in is a variation on the Guillotine plug-in by Adam D. Moss. It is intended to address a shortcoming of the original: Too many windows opened! There is, however, a trade-off.
Advantages:
The Guillotine-into-Layers plug-in slices the original image along guides just as does the standard Guillotine plug-in; however, instead of spawning many new images - which clutter the desktop and bog down the processor, this plug-in makes only one new image with multiple layers - one layer for each rectangular region. The user can then selectively copy a single layer from this new image, and paste it as a new image, giving the user greater control. Furthermore, the new image is named with the *.xcf file suffix. That way, if the user needs to stop processing the layers of the new image before s/he is done, then s/he can simply save the new image in the GIMP's native format - which preserves multiple layers.
The trade-off:
When the original Guillotine plug-in slices an image, each new image has the same number of layers as the original, each copied from the same rectangular region. On the other hand, the Guillotine-into-Layers plug-in performs a copy-visible-layers action over each region to produce a new layer for the resulting image - implicitly merging the original layers.
Update 2009-11-8:
The second package - v.0.1.1 - contains an executable compiled for Windows platform and French translations - both from samj. See:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/19886#comment-5923
Update 2011-03-02:
The third package - v.0.1.2 - includes German translations from Avarra64. Otherwise, it is identical to the previous package. Vielen Dank, Avarra!
Note: Internationalization 2011-03-02:
If you are attempting to install this package in a language other than English (French or German as of now), I just discovered that I left out a key piece of information...
In the C header file "src/plugin-intl.h", line 40 reads:#define LOCALEDIR "/usr/share/locale"
The macro LOCALEDIR is is supposed to be the directory where your system stores all available translated texts for all installed applications. I am using Slackware Linux, for which this macro is accurate. You might need to edit this line in order for your installation to be successful. (The file is read-only by default, so in this case, you'll have to change its permissions.)

Not working...
I do not know why, but the plugin is not working for me. When I use guillotine, it still uses the built-in method, and there isn't any other guillotine option available. I use Gimp2.7.0 on WinXP SP2, and installed this plugin the same way and into the same folder as all my other plugins.
Any suggestions?

Solved!
I downloaded libgimp2.0-dev and it now compiles on Ubuntu 9.10
Windows binaries
http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/guillotine_into_layers-0.1.zip
Tested with Gimp 2.6.7 Vista
Windows binaries
Merci beaucoup!
Thank you very much!
Comment cela fonctionne-t-il ?
How does it work for you?
Apportez une traduction a la Francais (fr.po) s'il vous plait?
Could you please provide a French translation file (fr.po)?
Apportez le code pour la compilation pour Windows (Makefile?) s'il vous plait?
Could you please provide the compiler code (Makefile?) for installing this plug-in on a Windows platform?
Cordialement... yours,
Randall
Post-scriptum:
Je ne parle/lis/ecris Francais bien pas. Je possede US-clavier.
Windows binaries
it works for me too
But the package is too confusing for Windows users :
Only the exe and a README.txt (with how to install and link to the code ) are needed
Well even the translation files may be useful but few will know were place them..that should be explained in the README.txt
(but few will read a README.txt if not as last resource )
But the package is too

The package is not only for Windows users, and it's better to include sources.
... and there are Windows
... and there are Windows users who know how things are supposed to work. I appreciate it when people who provide binaries to not limit the packages to the lowest common denominator.
