Re: [Gimp-developer] Feature Request: Layers from Image ( Linked Layers )
kevin wrote: I have been using GIMP for a few months now and there is a feature that I have wanted to have and think about every time I open up GIMP. The feature is mainly for the possibility of having templates. The idea is that you can place a layer that is a link to a certain image, so you can have 9 layers on top of each other and each one being an image. The idea is that you no longer have to Load image as layer every time you change an image because the layer would be the image and would update itself. To give an example, let's say you have a template with different images being buttons, menus and background/foreground. You have a window open with all the different linked layers positioned to be how you want it on your site or final look. Now, when you change one of the images, you can see what the result will look like from looking at the window with the template. Benefit being speed ( you don't have to look for the file or any of the tedious crap ) and ease which are two things I like to think GIMP excels over all competitors with. TBH, this sounds more like a vector editing feature than a raster editing feature.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Feature Request: Layers from Image ( Linked Layers )
Not sure I understand your desired workflow. You say when you change an image the layer updates. How do you change an image? Outside gimp? It would be very possible to script some of this... For example, if the layer name were the full path to an image, a script command to reload the layer would be fairly trivial. Possibly modifying the load image as layers to store the full path as a layer parasite so a reload image layers command could be implemented easily. -Rob A On 6/13/09, kevin fmw...@gmail.com wrote: I have been using GIMP for a few months now and there is a feature that I have wanted to have and think about every time I open up GIMP.

I've been using Gimp for ~4 yrs, and although my use of the text tool is very limited, I feel very comfortable with the interface. Rolling over the layer blend mode text field is kind of obvious because it has a list arrow on it indicating there are more options. I would never have thought to try rolling over a button. Perhaps a tool tip is in order when the pointer is paused on the button? Agreed, but WOW! This is cool! I never would have guessed. This is suddenly much better:) Patrick ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Feature Request: Layers from Image ( Linked Layers )
Well I am glad to hear that it is relatively easy but unfortunately I haven't gotten into scripting with gimp at all... Although, this is definitely going to push me to learn it so I can get this feature ( and various other reasons ). But, as a feature, I still think it would be a helpful add especially for web developers to have a button that just creates a linked layer for them quickly and easily. Thanks for your response and I am already looking at sites w/ tutorials and reading up on this... I know several programming languages, so I am hoping that will help me out while learning this scripting language ,.
