I also have a second computer runs Ubuntu 8.04 (I didn't upgrade to 8.10 yet), that every time the system tell me to upgrade I would do it (last time was in last week). But it still uses Gimp 2.5.4 (sh?? an unstable version?). If Ubuntu has 2.6 without a system-upgrade, I'd be glad to try. I don't want to fight the hassle of system-upgrade in recent months. Usually a system-upgrade means I need to get used to something a bit different, I prefer trying that in less heavy-working days ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I'll re-try both plugins you recommended after once day my operating system (gentoo) bring me to 2.6.x. I can manually make an upgrade to 2.6.x by changing some configuration files, but I prefer to wait because gimp's dependencies might change the system (gtk upgrade to 2.18). I'm not in hurry. It will take months until gimp reaches 2.6 on Gentoo stable. I'll not forget to re-test these things by that time. I keep a good "when xx happen do xx" todo list management.

[Gimp-user] how to clone a text layer (not how to do clone on a layer)
Hello. Is there a feature in gimp that behave like inkscape, where a text layer (in Inkscape an object or a group of object) can have some clone text layers. If the source text layer changes its color, size, text etc, the cloned layer automatically change accordingly. In fact, I am more happy if the cloned layer only changes its text when the source layer's text is changed. I need this feature because I have an illustration where a word appeared multiple times. I need to change this word from time to time. But I have about 12 layers with the same word, doing the same text change to 12 layers from time to time look stupid. In Inkscape it would be easier.
