Feature Request: Layer Export

["Christopher W. Curtis" <ccurtis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm using the GIMP (1.1.17; debian unstable) to create some mockups for
our prepress guys.  They want to use some of the things I've done, but I
don't want to give them a non-flexible image.  I realize that I can do
this already, but I thought it would be a nice feature (that seems like
it would be easy to implement) if you could right-click on a layer in
the layers&channels dialog and export it to a file.

Thanks,
Christopher
