The ability to select multiple layers opens a rather large can of worms. What happens when you paint with several layers selected? Then Gimp simply doesn't allow you to paint (because it doesn't know which layer you want). Simple. If you have so many layers than it's has become tedious to

I know nothing about code. However, I am happy to contribute ideas (like I just have) for future releases, scripts, etc. Unless, of course, only those in the know are permitted to do such things. (That was a joke ... before some uptight developers get even more edgy.) Where can I submit this
