Re: [Gimp-user] Not moving layers

[Richard]

The default behavior of the Move tool is configurable under Edit > 
Preferences... (Tool Options section, I believe).  I personally prefer the 
default behavior to be click-to-pick, but this looks like one of those cases 
where only moving the current (active) layer is a preferable default behavior.

You can't, but that usually is not needed -
what you are probbly missing is that by holding "shift" + click when
using the move tool, you will always move the current active layer,
not the layer with the first non-transparent pixel under the pointer.
(which is usually the situation when you'd be moving a layer you don't
want too)

Re: [Gimp-user] Not moving layers

[Rick Strong]

I have also found that putting my cursor on something solid in the layer I 
want to move--the middle of a filled letter of text, an object--will also 
move only the target layer.


But I like that "shift+click" trick, too.

Thanks—didn’t know about that, and it may help a lot.

Does that work for you?

When I accidentally move a layer, I do a Ctrl+Z and then make sure the 
select tool is on "Move selected layer"

I'm not sure I know exactly what is happening on your end, as I never
had a problem like that.  When that happens, what are you doing?

As a stopgap measure, making all layers the same size as the image
canvas would at least let you put the layer back exactly where it
started, by using the Move tool and zooming in on one corner.

Re: [Gimp-user] Not moving layers

[Ross Martinek]

No lock symbol next to the layer in the Layer dialog. I can lock the pixels of 
the layer, or the alpha channel, but not the layer itself.

[Gimp-user] Not moving layers

[Ross Martinek]

Is there any way to lock a layer so that it cannot be inadvertently moved while 
working on it?
