Gimp export batch with edit

I want to export a deck of cards. I want to programmatically update the Value text field [A,1,2,3....]. Is there a plugin that can do this? Or will I have to explore Gimp scripting? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm new to gimp so go easy on me.

Also I've noticed this conversation is related. How to replace text in Gimp image programatically

Solution

  • With existing scripts, what I would do is create a group with each of the values as layers (or subgroups), and then use ofn-export-layer-combinations to make each layer/subgroup visible in turn and export the resulting image. So, starting with this:

    enter image description here

    You get this:

    To produce multiple decks, you can also have another group with all your backgrounds, and the script will iterate both groups.
