1. Is there a Python command to "disable" a layer mask (as if holding CTRL key and clicking mask)?
2. Where can I find a good GIMP python reference with all the commands?
Thanks for any help.

1. I don't see a command for disabling layer mask. It seems you can only apply or/and remove layer mask. GIMP python fu usually don't provide front end interface commands but only commands that has effect so I guess that's why disabling mask isn't there because it's more of a front end for user to work with and all other mask operations seem to be there.
2. I just use GIMP -> Help -> Procedure browser and search for a keyword...for example "mask" and all commands that has mask it in will appear. That seems good enough for me to find possible commands. Then just replace the - (hyphens) in commands with _ (underscores) and add pdb. in front and you've got your Python fu commands. And the parameters are there, just ignore the RUN MODE parameter if there is one.

Tim, thanks for the reply and answers. Makes sense about the layer mask option. Basically I just wanted to make a group mask, but have it disabled to start with. I can workaround it by just making a white mask on the group.

I think gimp-layer-set-apply-mask should do what you want
Thanks for the reply. I was trying to create a group mask, but have it start out in disabled mode (red square around it). I can work around it by simply having a white mask so all the group layers show through basically getting the same result. I'm really new at coding python in Gimp, but I can see the power in it automating repetitive tasks.
