My point exactly. I want to _crop_ the image (take only a part of the
whole image), but I want the layers to stay the same. I think it natural
that the crop tool would be the correct tool for both cropping the canvas
and cropping the canvas plus layers (as was previously possible).
I practically never use the option of expanding the image using the crop
tool (which is provided for in 2.6), since you can't even see the image
from the area that you are enlarging. (This feature would be more useful
if the image within the crop area was shown also beyond the canvas during
enlarging.)
