One way to deal with it would be to have two concepts, active layers and selected layers. There is only one active layer, but there can be several selected layers. When you paint, the active layer is affected. When you free-transform, the selected layers are affected. Whenever there is only one selected layer, that layer is also the active layer.

Not painting at all is not a very good solution if the user clearly acts like he wants to paint. It's better to make a best-guess; if it was wrong, well then the user have to be more specific. At least we tried our best. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ "Nightly GIMP, GEGL, babl tarball builds" _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
