iPhone 4 layer export script for Gimp

I often mockup iPhone interfaces on the Gimp, then exporting each layer for use as backgrounds. For iOS 4 each image needs to be exported twice: one at full resolution with @2x in its filename, and once at half-resolution without the @2x. e.g. nav_bg@2x.png and nav_bg.png.

Exporting layers by hand gets old real quick. Thankfully the Gimp supports scripting in my favourite language: python. Even better, Chris Mohler had already written a script to do something very similar, so all I needed to do was make some simple adjustments:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: <utf-8> -*-

    layername = layer.name.decode('utf-8')

    return layers

    dupe = img.duplicate()
    savelayers = get_layers_to_export(dupe)

        layer.visible = 0 
    for layer in dupe.layers:
        if layer in savelayers:
            layer.visible = 1

            if layer.mask:
                pdb.gimp_layer_remove_mask(layer, 0)

            filename1,filename2 = format_filename(layer)
