with GIMP becoming a non-destructive editor at heart, i think
it's natural to expect cropping to work non-destructively, too.
Then it's more like selecting a frame for an (conceptually)

Samp, I didn't look at the archive -- but the functionality you are
seeking appears to be in the rectangle selection tool.

Hi,
I'm leaving the Gimp list now as I'm not actively intrested in the

canvas, but not to crop the layers. This functionality has been removed
in recent versions (or at least I can't find it). This totally disrupted
