Export-Krita-Layers-As-Numbered-Files/README.md

Export layers in Krita as numbered files.

This python script exports Krita layers in the format of fileName_layerIndex_layerName.

How to use

1. Go to Tools -> Scripts -> Scripter and:
   1. paste the Python script into the text editor section OR
   2. go to File -> Open, navigate through the pop up file explorer and click on the python script.
2. Run the Python script by hitting the play button or typing Ctrl + R. The name of every layer exported will be printed to the console. Your exported files should be in a folder near to your Krita project file.

Warning

• You should export from a saved Krita project. An unsaved project will export the files into your home directory (within a folder named exported_layers or whatever you set the export_directory to in the script.).
• This has only been tested to work on Linux and Windows 11.
• You MUST have a background layer (a blank one) because background layers are ignored.
