Thank you, Rob, for creating this useful script.
If I may, I would like to suggest a little improvement aimed to get
Thanks for the suggestion. I have added the check for floating selection.
Also, as a point, this can not replace the real ctrl-v as it can not

Thanks for pointing out the usefulness of floating selections for
scripting/plugins. That makes a lot of sense. But if that is the only
usefulness for this special type of layer I think it should be a special
behavior that can be employed by

Having said that, if there is no need to merge layers together, but
you simply want to manage the pasted object as indipendent layer, then
the optimal solution is to use the Paste as New Layer command rather
than the Paste command, which actually generates floating
selections.

Paste to new layer currently pastes the copied pixels in the top-left.
I think Gino suggested that it be changed to 'centered'. It sounds

Yes more or less. The script pastes as a layer not a floating layer.
That is the big difference. And it provides the same alignment
behaviour to the new layer which is not the behaviour of the current
“paste as layer” (which aligns the new layer at 0,0.

A new layer is non-destructive. Why is there a need for this other type
of layer? The name 'floating selection' isn't even accurate. This is a

Hi, This has just been discussed in the Libre Graphics Meeting which
just took place, and should be the main subject of the Summer of Code
project I am mentoring.
there are other motives for the Floating Selection (i.e. the quasi
layer) to exist, but of course, the existing usability for that is

Hi,
Has there been any discussion about doing away with the 'floating

mean to compare the Gimp to Photoshop, but it seems like this is a place
where Photoshop does the right thing: when graphics are copy/pasted a
