Google for layer-select.scm and put it into your ~/.gimp/scripts (sp?) directory.

[Gimp-user] How to select whole layer and only layer
This question show also why Select/All may be confusing ; the meaning of "All" seems a quiz: What the heck Select/All will select ? 1) "all" inside the current layer boundary 2) "all" inside image boundary 3) "all" inside canvas boundary as guess 1) looks good as the others ,even more probable, but will be a wrong answer Maybe adding another option as "Select/All in active layer" would help to make concept clear and be of some practical utility On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 10:40 AM, Adam Majewski wrote: >> >> Dnia Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:29:26 +1030 >> David Gowers <00a...@gmail.com> napisal(a): >> >>> > I would like to know how to make selection for whole layer >>> > and only area of layer. >>> > (should it be named "layer to selection"?) >> >>> It is, in fact, named 'alpha to selection', in the layers dialog.

Basically, you can just 1. call gimp-drawable-offsets to find the top-left corner of the active layer 2. call gimp-drawable-height and gimp-drawable-width to get the size of the layer 3. call gimp-rect-select using the bounds you just retrieved. The procedure browser found in the help menu can help explain how these work. Once you've written the script and registered the function in the appropriate place, you can give it a keyboard shortcut using the keyboard shortcut editor. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It is, in fact, named 'alpha to selection', in the layers dialog.

[Gimp-user] How to select whole layer and only layer
Hi there! I would like to know how to make selection for whole layer and only area of layer. (should it be named "layer to selection"?) I know that this can be done with rectangle selection, and with use of zoom this will give correct effect, but it will take some (too much imho) time for this operation. It is not so simply to pres ctrl+a, but it should be in my opinion. After select region of layer i would like to make shrink, border or other things of this selection. The process and effect i have now: background is 1024x768 layer_1 is 100x100 in 1/3 in width and height selecting layer_1 from layers ctrl+a shrink selection by 3 px if 'shrink selection from image border' is selected then i see effect, but it is from image border, not layer border else i don't see any effect of shrink How to do it simple, easy and fast to select area of layer? Without need of zooming for rectangle selection for small layers... Kind regards!
