Rename Layers Script For Animated .gifs animation

[trandoductin]

When creating an animated .gif in GIMP.
You can control how long each frame is delayed for by adding for example ' (100ms)' after the layer name.
Also, if you want the frame to replace the content of the previous layer you can add ' (replace)' after that so a layer name can be something like 'Frame 1 (100ms) (replace)'
Having to rename the layers manually is very painful.
So that's why this script is here to aid in renaming files for .gif animations.

Layer Name Prefix is the name you want to name the layer with.
delay(ms) is number of milliseconds to delay each frame for
Add '(replace)' if YES will add the string '(replace)' to very end of frame/layer name
Only Apply to visible layers, if YES will only apply/rename to visible layers

Tin,
Thank you for this script. Each time I try to do an animation, I use this script. It saves a lot of time.

I have not yet gotten used to this cultural behavior that I see in most international forums that I attend.
I have tried to adhere to this current, to act within the "standard", but when I see it, or I am already thanking you for a post, a script / plugin, a response, etc. or leaving a Like in the post to register my silent thanks.

I agree that if everyone opened a post just to say thank you, it would be a mess that would compromise the reading of the thread (topic), but what about leaving a like as a sign of thanks? Just one click on .

Okay, c'est la vie.

Tim, thanks!

Krikor, a lot of times people look for things to download ....download it and start using it and they're off somewhere else.... they can't all register and thank or like that's my guess heheh. I do that too.

Hmmm, I hadn’t considered that possibility. Well thought out Tim.
This slightly changes my stereotyped view of other cultures.
