GIMP Multiple frames in a group folder combined in blender

blesssedone commented 6 years ago

I observed that multiple frames in one group folder from GIMP are combined as a single image when I imported them into blender

I already get the TypeError: can't pickle GroupLayer objects error. I found a workaround:

From Gimp:

Export your file to an OpenRaster file (.ora)
Open this .ora file
Export to COATools.

In my case the error no longer appears.

To avoid layer groups to be combined in a single sprite, I edited the gimp exporter so that any layer (in a group or not) are exported in its own sprite.

Here is the edited Gimp addon:
