Re: [Gimp-user] How to cause Image... Canvas Size... Layers... to _always_ be All Layers instead of None ?

Quoting Jay Smith j...@jaysmith.com:

 Using Gimp 2.6.6 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Linux.

 For the vast majority of my work, every time I enlarge the canvas (which
 I have to do a _lot_ ), I want _all_ the Layers to enlarge as well.

 However, the dialog box

Image... Canvas Size... Layers...

 _always_ seems to default to None instead of All Layers.


The Image/Canvas size... command will only change the size of your  
work surface (the paper size, if you will) but not change the size  
of the graphics ON the canvas.

In order enlarge or shrink the image fully -- that is change the size  
of the pictures on the paper, not just the size of the paper --  
you should use the Image-Scale Image command.

I have just discovered an additional -- but exactly the same basic
subject -- problem with this dialog box:

The 'link' symbol at the top, between the two pixel sizes, reverts every
single time to linked status.  It seems that it has to be unlinked
every time if you wish to change only one of the dimensions of the canvas.

Again, is there a way to get Gimp to remember this setting (either
permanently or per-session)?

I would have assumed that there is an rc file(s) somewhere that contains
every conceivable dialog box setting/value.

 While I have a difficult time understanding why None is a better
 default setting than All Layers, I suppose that there are some very
 good reasons that are beyond my grasp.
 
 However, certainly there must be a way to change this default for a
 particular Gimp installation or at the very least, for a particular
 user session of running Gimp.
 
 Am I missing something?
 
 Does this require a plug-in?  Is there one that will do it?
 
 Is there a plug-in that will allow the user control over _all_ the
 defaults?  (The model that comes to mind is the firefox/thunderbird
 about:config setting methods.)
