Graphic Slicing with The Gimp?

Ivo asks: "I'm a webdeveloper working almost exclusively in Linux. But I currently still use Windows to use Adobe's ImageReady, to splice up the designs that we get from our webdesign partners. Usually, if someone asks 'can I do Adobe Photoshop stuff on Linux', the answer is of course, Gimp. Gimp rules. No doubt about that, and I use it all the time. But I miss the features that ImageReady has, like automatic generation of a lot of small images and buttons for a website, including mouseover and mouseoff variants. Doing that manually in Gimp or Photoshop takes hours. Is there a program for Linux, or even better a plugin for Gimp, that does what ImageReady does?" How difficult would something like this be to do using Script-Fu?

    You should read up on this new technology that we call "search engines". They're really nice. Here's a short tutorial:

    1. Open www.google.com
    2. Keywords like "web", "gimp" and "scripting" would seem appropriate, wouldn't they?
    3. And then you press enter.

    And you will get approx. 17800 results, listing at least two printed books. Now wasn't that easy and nice? And faster than submitting that question to Slashdot too!

    Just my $0.02, and I even added the sarcasm for FREE! :)
