Open as layer command line parameter
Open, WishlistPublic

Description

Add command line parameter to open images as layers in a document. For example command:

krita --as-layer 1.png,2.jpg,3.jpg,4.png,5.kra

This should be equivalent to opening each image in separate tabs then copying layer from second image into first, third into first, etc.

Need to think how to handle multilayer files (psd,kra) correctly.

Interesting idea.

Need to think how to handle multilayer files (psd,kra) correctly.

To me it seems like it would make sense to create a layer group for each multi-layer file that would contain the entire tree of layers for that file. So 5.kra might be opened as a group called "5" with a tree of layers that matches the structure inside the original file. Just a thought!

Also, to take this one step farther it would be cool to have krita --as-frames 1.png,2.jpg,3.jpg,4.png as well, which would open multiple files as animation frames within a single layer. =]
