[Gimp-user] A new layer enforced for each text object?

[Avraham Makeler]

Hi all,
I read something in the documentation that says that each text (box?) is
automatically placed in a new layer.
And that's also what seems to happen in practice.

Doesn't sound so great to me. I like being able to have multiple objects in
a single layer. So I can show/hide a whole lot of things at once.
Also, if you have 50 objects in a pic, do you get 50 layers...???!!!

So...in general, does GIMP enforce a policy of one layer per object?

IF YES THEN
Sounds crazy to me

ELSE   /* I can have many objects in a single layer */
Great!
Now how can I disable this feature of creating text in its own new
layer?

IF IMPOSSIBLE THEN
 How at least can I move the text, after creation, to a different
layer - i.e., a layer that contains a lot of other texts.

Great thanks in advance,

[Gimp-user] apply gradients to the canvas/area , err msg: Blend does not operate on indexed layers

[Avraham Makeler]

Hi all,
Once I have finished defining my new gradient how do I apply the gradient to
the canvas/area?

What do I have to do with the gradient window, if anything?

How do I actually apply the new gradient. I have tried using the Fill tool,
and that just fills the area with the Foreground color, and I have tried
using the Blend Tool, but it tells me

Blend does not operate on indexed layers.

Am I supposed to be using that operation (Blend)? If so how can make my
layer not indexed?
