[Gimp-developer] Suggestion: Make the 'New layer' command default to 'New layer with last values'
I agree with the suggestion. The 'New Layer' button on the Layers Dock should represent a new layer with the last values, then have the dialog , if wanted, with a SHIFT-CLICK. The longer way can stay the same (on the top window: Layers- New Layer - Menu). Feel free to call! Free PC-to-PC calls. Low rates on PC-to-Phone. Get Yahoo!

[Gimp-developer] Suggestion: Make the 'New layer' command default to 'New layer with last values'
Martin, Have you considered assigning the "new layer" function to a key? I have assigned my apostrophe to do just that and, if the need arose, I am quite confident that I could request 100 new layers faster than my computer could generate them; all without even leaving the image window. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

inestead of that hold shift ! it has been dthe default through the 2.0 series, and it was not firendly to novies. You just hold shift whenpressing the new layer button. thank you for your interest, an dyou are welcome to more suggestions. But this one is not a bug.

[Gimp-developer] Suggestion: Make the 'New layer' command default to 'New layer with last values'
Hi Everyone! It's me, the Xtns -> Extensions guy if you remember. I've been using GIMP over the last months to really get to know it, and I must admit that the workflow improves dramatically once you start to really get into the UI. I have however noticed one thing that I think could be improved. I've found myself using the 'New layer' command on the 'Layers' window quite often, and it is very rare that I want to change the properties of the layer. (The absolute most frequenty new-layer-command is 'create a new transparent layer the same size as the image'). I propose a small change to the code. Since it is very few lines, I thought that creating a .diff file would be overkill, so I'll just write the changes here: In gimp-2.3.8/app/widgets/gimplayertreeview.c swap place of the new layer callbacks so it becomes this: item_view_class->new_action = "layers-new-last-values"; item_view_class->new_default_action = "layers-new"; In gimp-2.3.8/app/actions/layers-actions.c, make layers_new_last_vals_cmd_callback() be invoked when N is pressed (instead of layers_new_cmd_callback()). If you need this as a formal patch, let me know and I'll create one. IMO this improves the workflow futher. /Martin Nordholts _ För dig som älskar spel http://www.msn.se/noje/spel/ ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
