So it was THAT easy :D I didn't see the "merge visible layers" on the bottom of the menu, and was trying to do the operation the "Windows way" by trying to ctrl-click multiple layers to select them, which obviously cannot be done on GIMP. -- SHIRAKAWA Akira ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

It is possible to do: 1. Shift-click on the visibility icon for one of the layers, to make it the only visible layer 2. Make the other layers that you want to include visible 3.

It would be even more useful if it was not only an aestethic/usability addition, but if expanded program functionality by providing "group layer masks". These "group layers masks" would work like normal masks, but with group of layers instead of single layers. That's one of the layer features I need most, as I'm an "artist" (more like "creative user", though) and I use many layers even with simple works, and I often need masks to affect multiple layers at once. > 3 - Select layers and then apply "Merge layers" > Instead of do it, for example, 5 times to merge 5 layers, it could be > possible to select which layers are affected and then do the command. This too, I'm surprised it's not possible to do at the time, because it's a logical and intuitive way to combine multiple layers together. -- SHIRAKAWA Akira ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

> Von: Eduardo Barijan > Hello, it´s me again. > > I was thinking this time about 3 new other features that Gimp could have: Hi Eduardo, please have a look at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GIMP, in particular the enhancement proposals. (384 currently; linked from the column at the right). I think that all that you have suggested is already listed there (maybe except the hide/show, but IMO that is a natural byproduct of having layer folders). It is good that you did post here instead of just filing a new request at Bugzilla - new features do usually require discussion first. Regards, Michael -- Pt!

[Gimp-developer] About futures features
Hello, it´s me again. I was thinking this time about 3 new other features that Gimp could have: 1 - grouping layers by folder. This one should help artists who does their work in a lot of layers, as example, coloring characters. Then you have a folder for body, for example, with just the layers that you used to do lineart and color of body, etc. 2 - Hide/Show all layers inside folder If (1) exists, then this one would help in show/hide just the part you want in you project 3 - Select layers and then apply "Merge layers" Instead of do it, for example, 5 times to merge 5 layers, it could be possible to select which layers are affected and then do the command. I myself don´t know if it is simple/hard to implement. But thinking on a new Major version, this simple tasks would help a lot, wont it? ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
