I am wondering if it is possible to add text to a single image that reads "Gameplay - Part 01" and generate a duplicate image with the text "Gameplay - Part 02," and so on, using an automatic process to ensure consistent text placement.
Here is a reference on my Google Drive.

Thank You.
I was able to determine that you can use scripts in GIMP.
I found a script that suits my needs to make my process faster.
You can find some useful scripts here.
Look in each scripts .zip for more information.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...s/scripts/
I had to put the script here to get it to work...
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
Restart GIMP and it should work.
Thanks and hope this can help others.
Vague memory of a Gimp plugin that pastes the layer name into the layer - but I can not find it, so it might not exist.
The usual way is not Gimp but a command line program ImageMagick (IM)
http://www.imagemagick.org
For a single image thumb.png where the number space is blank and outputs as a jpeg
Code:
magick thumb.png -font Arial_Bold.ttf -pointsize 22 -fill white -annotate +266+187 "01" 01.jpg
Gives this.

Caveates: You need a matching font and put it in the same folder as the base image
For a sequence of numbers then a batch file and a loop is required. If you do a search you will find examples. Often used for lottery tickets etc. I use linux and very rusty with Windows but see
https://superuser.com/questions/908476/c...magemagick Scroll down to the end for a Windows example.
You can ask the question on the IM forum:
https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/discussions Always very helpful there.
edit: just out of interest, how many of these do you need ?

Thank you for the information I will look into that as well.
It's ok I don't need you to make me any images, but I appreciate it.
I was just using that for a visual example.

Thank You.
You can create an image with all your "labels" as text layers i a group, and then use my
ofn-export-layer-combinations to export images that are made of one of the text layers from the group and the background image.

Just to show that it can work but how you proceed depends on how many. 10 images - one at a time 1000 images - make a batch file.
Edit: Ok, a hunt through my archive.
1. A plugin
Text add-number-layers.py Adds layers to a base image, each layer with a sequential number.
Goes in your plugins folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plugins
2. A script-fu
export-layers-plus.scm that exports the layers to individual files.
Goes in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts
A very quick demo, had to trim it to fit into 1 minute.

unzip the attached for the two files.

Thank you very much. I'll have to look into that as well. I'm not very good with GIMP so it's a learning process.
