[Gimp-user] GIF layers

2012-08-21 Thread ubuntulistener
Hello,  

Is there a way to select all the layers in the Layers Window?  is: I've got a 
GIF animation that's comprised of 590 individual layers, and to work on 
specific layers, It'd be convenient to be able to hide all the layers other 
than the layer I'm working on - maybe with a dialog under LayersStackSelect 
all LayersHide, or an eye checkbox at the top or bottom of the Layers 
window that would select all layers, thereby allowing me to unhide the 
selected layer by checking the eye ,(show), checkbox of the relevant layer.


Currently, the only way I know of to work on a specific layer within such a 
stack is to move the layer to the top of the stack so it becomes the  visible 
layer, perform the work, then return the layer to its original location.

Thanks

Shift-Click on the eye icon.

Bye,

Why not read the wondeful GIMP manual? It is even translated... ;-)

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-structure.html#gimp-layer-dialog

Layer visibility

 In front of the thumbnail is an icon showing an eye. By clicking on
 the eye, you toggle whether the layer is visible or not.
 (Shift-clicking on the eye causes all other to be temporarily
 hidden.)

The word temporarily is misleading. The other layers remain
hidden until their eye icon is clicked. However, this is hardly worth
a bug report.

Right! Thanks for pointing this out...
