Can't make an animated GIF with the layers grouped to apply fx

• splice a stack of layers into a single layer (on which you can apply effects), and a single layer back to a stack of small layers (ofn3-layer-tiles)
  
• overlay something on a bunch of layers (ofn3-interleave-layers)
  

Script are here.

For any questions see here:

• ofn3-layer-tiles
  
• ofn3-interleave-layers
  

Thanks for those scripts! They don't work for my particular use case, but I can definitely use the interleave one if I have a text layer I want to put on all the frames of my animation.

I spent the last couple of days writing a script to automate what I did manually before. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to copy the filters that are attached to the group onto the individual layers. And when I tried it in GIMP I found that using a filter on a 'normal' layer doesn't actually add an editable filter, the way it does with a group layer, so that was a no-go. (not like I spent several hours trying to get it to work in my script. oh well.)
