Re: [Gimp-user] How to drag layers from one image to another in Gimp 2.8?
As far as I know, this isn't possible. However, if you select the tab you want to drag over, you can click Edit Copy (or Ctrl+C), open the other image, and click Edit Paste (or Ctrl + V). That should get the results you're looking for. As for your suggestions, the second one would actually be really nice. The tabs are a little too tall for my taste :P Kasim Ahmic Sent from my iPod On Dec 7, 2013, at 2:59 AM, j...@cjsa.com (Jeffery Small) wrote: I'm using Gimp 2.8.2 on Linux.
