*# Proposition So our idea (at ZeMarmot project) would be:
* *- When pasting on a layer, just create a new layer over the selected ones. Done. No floating selection anymore.* *- When pasting on a layer mask, still make a floating selection (but probably name it "Floating mask" because the name "Floating *selection*" is weird anyway).* Hi, The proposed suggestion sounds good to me, I use the convenient "floating mask" everyday, to subtract from or add to a mask. A big side benefit would be the fixing of the lost transform feature, which is a regular problem for me. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/7573 Description of the bug using the unified transform tool on a floating selection is possible, however the transform is lost if you convert the floating selection to a new layer. Although there will be some scripts to adjust that deal with the floating layer. eg. *(define (sweeney_transferLayerBlended sourceImage targetImage sourceLayer targetLayer opacity mode sharpen) (let* ( (activeLayer 0) ) (if(> sourceLayer 0)(gimp-edit-copy sourceLayer)) (if(= sourceLayer 0)(gimp-edit-copy-visible sourceImage)) (set! activeLayer (car (gimp-edit-paste targetLayer 1))) (gimp-layer-set-opacity activeLayer opacity) (gimp-layer-set-mode activeLayer mode) (if(> sharpen 0)(plug-in-unsharp-mask 0 targetImage activeLayer 3 sharpen 0)) (gimp-floating-sel-anchor activeLayer) (set! activeLayer (car (gimp-image-get-active-drawable targetImage))) (when(= (car (gimp-item-is-layer-mask activeLayer)) 1) ; if selected mask (set! activeLayer (car(gimp-layer-from-mask activeLayer))) ) activeLayer ))(script-fu-register "sweeney_transferLayerBlended" "" "Copy item into a layer with blend options" ;description "Mark Sweeney" "Mark Sweeney" "2020" "")*
