I think it would make sense for the cut regions to be transparent. Personally, when I work, I give all layers an alpha channel and have a separate layer for just the background color, so that layer wouldn't even be linked with the others when cutting or copying, and it would show through anyway. I should really look into learning script-fu. I'm sure it would be helpful. -- Brian (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

That would be rather simple but I won't be able to get to it until maybe this weekend (besides, a complete re-write is called for since that old code looks embarrassingly ugly given my improved understanding of Script-fu I've attained since it was written). One question I would ask is whether cut out portions of layers should become transparent -- even if the layer does not initially have an alpha channel. This to me would seem a reasonable assumption but it might be preferable to fill the selected region with the background color if the layer has no alpha channel. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
