I'm looking in the Gimp for the same function as contact sheet in photoshop. That is , take a selection of files and make a contact sheet to print the selection.

Does it exist?

Not yet, but I believe that someone is hoping to do this soon as part of a revamped thumbnail browser (don't hold your breath, though - I don't believe it's on the list of features which is definitely planned for 2.2).

Cheers, Dave.

i have a python script that is working fairly well in gimp-1.3 -- i have yet to move things to my gimp2 directories, i dont think there is a problem with it in gimp2 however.

it spits html out, but could be easily modified to other formats. here is the page it is producing lately:

the script is: http://carol.gimp.org/files/camera-gallery.py.txt

But he wants to select files!
I move the selected files with gqview to a temporary directory and run a small shell in the parent directory:

/usr/local/bin/montage -tile 4x8 -adjoin -verbose -page 2700x4000 -geometry 600x450+20+20 $1/* `basename $1`.sheet.png

It is not optimized, you must change values to that you prefer. Hope this can help...

Interesting, just wondering if there is anything signifigant about the "deadfish" catergorization of the script?

Gimp 2.0

May be descriptive. I installed, plugged in the indicated values, clicked 'ok' and that was it. There was *no* output or indication that there would be any.
