Hi Gerald,
PLEASE, do not hijack an existing thread.  That is when you take an
existing message and just change the subject instead of starting a new
message.

If you notice, your message is shown in the original thread.  This is
due to the way messages are threaded, by thread number, not subject.
When you just change the subject and send it, the thread number has not
changed.

You will get better results if you start with a fresh message and give
it a descriptive title.  Some folks (me included) tend to close threads
they aren't interested in and hence won't see your message.

Tom

Related to this, I've been thinking about writing a script-fu for a slightly 
more advanced version of the New layer command (if one doesn't exist 
already).  Something that gives you control over:

- Size (image/current layer/custom)
- Initial contents (FG/BG color, B/W, transparent)
- Stack placement (above/below current, or create group with current)

As for the ability to select multiple layers at a time:  This would definitely 
make creating layer groups easier on a pre-existing image.  And for draw 
purposes, tools could probably just act on the topmost (non-locked) layer in 
the selection

Yes but since the notion of layer group we should be able to select 
multiple layers to form a new group at least on a wish list !

It _is_ in the wish list and will be done eventually :)
