The group layer boundaries are just legacy, we don't want them at all, and it would thus be a bad idea to implement functionality that depends on the existence of (explicit) layer group boundaries, like adding a "Fit group canvas to layers" button. The (implicit) boundaries of a layer group should always be the smallest boundary that encloses all children. Masking a group should instead be done with masks or clipping paths, and we will fix at least layer group masks for 2.8. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ "Automatic tab style and removed tab title bar" _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
