ofn3-layer-tile issues (with one fix)

[gimp-saved-my-life]

@Ofnuts, it appears the ofn3-layer-tile plugin .zip file is missing the gimphelpers.py file, causing it to not load into the menu.

I guess I hadn't used ofn-layer-tile in a hot minute, or I just recently updated GIMP to where I needed the ofn3- versions. After some troubleshooting and research in the forum, I found your ofn3- files, set them up in my user directory, and only noticed ofn3-layer-tiels was not available. I found a thread mentioning gimphelpers.py was needed for your plug-ins, so I copied the instance in ofn3-interleave-layers into the ofn3-layer-tiles directory, restarted GIMP, and now it is in the Layer menu as expected! 

However, the Join tiles... option is inactive, and I'm not sure what to do next.

GIMP 3.0.4
macOS 15.5
ofn3-layer-tiles v1.02: 2025-05-13

I opened a .gif with 76 frames/layers; in the previous version, I would now select Join tiles... and specify the number of rows and number of columns and it would create a new image with one layer with each frame tiled next to the other.
Before I posted, I decided to try the Split functions, and both produce an error "name 'getArgsValues' is not defined"




Thanks for your work on these!

Hmm. A change in my packaging script made it miss that one. Fixed and re-uploaded a version.

Join tiles is enabled if you have multiple layers selected (those that you'll join).
