GIMP Multiple frames in a group folder combined in blender

[blesssedone]

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

this group layer of GIMP is true 'comfortable' thank you

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:
