Bulk export PER LAYER

[jointri]

I read the manual. It says:
krita --export-sequence --export-filename file.png test.kra
But I want to export as separate layers. And I might want to do this in bulk for more than one project. Is there any possible way I can do this? Would it be possible with a python script (either on the command line or in krita itself), because I want to import each layer separately into natron later for some compositing. Trust me when I say it’s far less headaches to just import into any compositing program be it after effects, natron, or blender as separate layers rather than fighting the rotoscoping.

Perhaps one of these plugins may help you?

Does the python API work with the appimage? Just wondering if so, so I can adjust how I develop my own if necessary?

Yes, the Python stuff is bundled with the AppImage and should work out of the box.

Because it’s not built into the program yet, I will have to use a plugin. I’ll mark your post as the solution because it gave me two existing plugins I could use or use as a reference should I decide to make my own.
