Script for GIMP that adds a sprite sheet generation feature to Plug-in/Tilemancer. If you use layer groups to organize different animations of the same sprite, you can generate one row per layer group. Alternatively, use a square shape to optimize file size.
Tilemancer sets the grid size for you when generating, just make sure that the grid is enabled if you want to use that.

When the animation looks good, use the menu option Plug-in/Tilemancer to convert it to a sprite sheet
Well, I found some free python scripts floating around the internet for this purpose, but python seems to work poorly/not at all with the newest versions of GIMP. So I took this as an opportunity to learn more about GIMP scripting, and Scheme.
