I ran the script, Tin, but I did not get a swipe bar once the script finished. What happened?

Not sure why that is.
Can you attach the .xcf that you used before running the script so i can examine why?

Tin, would size have anything to do with it? It stopped working again and I removed it from the post. Then when I tried to post again, would not allow me as error stated too large. I kept trying to get it smaller, even removing most of the pictures but still states too large. Ruined it with attempts to optimize to get smaller file. Will try again in the morning. Want it to work. Looks like a great script.

[tim]

yeah there's a file size limit if you want to post it as it might get large if you have a high number of layers and larger dimesions.

Tin, thank you so much for this new script. It's really nice and easy to create.

I really like this script, Tin. It is great! Are there any other shapes easy to add? (Boy, we always want more!)

[tim]

The shapes are easy to add as long as it's logical like if we could describe shapes using math. If a shape is selectable using coordinates or dimensions to describe the shape then i easily add it.
What did you have in mind?

[Pat625]

I did not have a specific shape in mind, Tin. I thought that you might have a few things that you might do! Maybe a several pointed star from the center out? I did want to ask. What size images did you use to get so many pictures in when you did your friend's pictures? I keep getting the file too big and then ruin it when I try to get it smaller. Thanks again for the script, Tin. Really like it and it will be useful when sending pictures to family.
