I'm currently struggling with this in 2.4.0-rc2: After selecting a region, I can resize and move the selection by dragging the mouse within the selection. When I press either Alt+Ctrl or Alt+Shift, I can start a new selection within the area of the current selection. I have not found a way to move the pixels yet (except cut-and-paste of course). Also, In the move tool, the options in the "Selection" tab are always disabled, and there are two entries named "Move selection". cheers, Christian _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
