Actually, this is the only sane way of working with GIMP at all.
I can't really understand why the default behavior had changed to the current
one (not keeping the picked layer). Probably it was a matter of mimicking
the main proprietary similar program once again.
And even then, at the time of the change, I remember restoring the "classic"
behavior as a tool option, and this was later changed from a tool option to
a tool preference, and got hidden deep in the preferences dialog where it
can't be found by anyone, unless one ask the developers thenselves (like it
just happened).
I remeber the excuse for hidding it in preferences was nto to "polutte" the
tool options with many options. Right now, I have there:
Move tool: 4 lines worth of options.
Blend tool: 8 lines in the tool options
Bucket fill: 15 lines in the tool options!!!
(move tool would bump to merely 6 six lines of widgets with the option for
the "keep selected layer" there in plain view of everyone).
Anyone feeling like reconsidering this, unless we get layer groupign and a
completley new way of getting to layers on gimp 2.8 ?
