Description
GIMP 2.8 Python Plugin.This plugin scales the contents of the layer (or layer group) to image size.
I hope this plugin will be useful for someone else.
Installation Instructions:
1. Extract "scale-layer-to-image-size.py" from .zip archive to the ".../.gimp-2.x/plug-ins/" directory.
2. Make sure that the extracted file is executable.
3. If you are already running GIMP, close and reopen it.
This plugin requires Python!
If you have the "Filters > Python-Fu > Console" menu item you are all set. If not, install Python support for GIMP.
Version History:
v1.3 (01.06.2012)
- Added support for working with layer groups.
- To the two types of scaling added three more.
- Added "Align to image center" option.
- Fixed bug in "Crop to Image Size" which leads to cropping of the whole image, and not the selected layer.
v1.2 (19.05.2012)
- Added "Crop to Image Size" option.
- The value "Addition" is now measured as a percentage (%).
- Some code improvements.
v1.0 (13.05.2012)
- Initial release.
My other plugins:
Create Layer Mask from...
Duplicate to another Image
Layer via Copy/Cut
Place Layer into Selection

What do you mean by make sure the file is executable.

In Nautilus (the file browser), find plugin file, and right-click on it. Click Properties.
Click the Permissions tab, and check the box labeled Allow executing file as program. Then click Close.

Ignore that other comment, I found it in the lib folder. Another question though, I have python-fu installed but when I try to add your scale layer to image script to the plug in folder it says I can't because libgimp-2.0-0.dll is missing. Help?

Don't forget to remove the plugin from the lib/ folder.

Under Windows XP the path should look like this: 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
\Documents and Settings\
Windows 7:
\Users\
On Unix, the plug-in directory is usually located at:
$HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins
I can't find my plug ins folder... I go to the correct folder but I don't see a plugins folder. I see a scripts folder but not one for plugins. Could you help?

Sorry, this script most probably doesn't work in earlier versions of GIMP.
